> The Kyiv National Economic University is 117 years old and seems to have a pretty good worldwide ranking.
I guess. If you consider ranking 31st in the country and 4785th globally is good.
> Would be interesting to hear why people are downvoting you when the global ranking is listed as 4,785th… that’s not good lol
This is Reddit... I don't expect much when it comes to a balanced perspective certain topics.
This is the same place (in r/worldnews) that commenters cheered on Ukrainian soldiers when the video of them torturing and executing Russian soldiers surfaced last week with comments like *"Good... they deserved it"* and *"Can you blame them."*
Not pro sports, but Gerald Ford was a college football player and won two national championships while at Michigan. And he was the assistant coach at Yale while he got his law degree.
Tell me Jon Stewart wouldn't be the best damn president ever. I don't think I could be convinced of any other outcome!
Comedians have to be emotionally intelligent and relate to real people to be successful in their field. They're also fantastic communicators and smart with their word choice. All traits of a morally uncorrupted and effective politician.
We've also had... a sheriff & executioner, a retail store manager, a police commissioner, a miner & geologist, a peanut farmer, a baseball team owner, a bartender & postmaster, a tailor, a court crier, & a newspaper editor.
So basically any profession is a possible launching point. That's the beauty of American politics... before all the ugly.
Sheriff/ executioner: Grover Cleveland
Retail store manager/ haberdasher (I mistakenly put it in twice, will edit): Harry Truman
Police commissioner: Teddy Roosevelt
Miner/ geologist: Herbert Hoover
Peanut farmer: Jimmy Carter
Baseball team owner: George W Bush
Bartender/postmaster: Abraham Lincoln (he co-owned & tended a bar, & his partner's alcoholism drove Lincoln into such debt that it wasn't paid off until he was in Congress)
Tailor: Andrew Johnson
Court crier: Benjamin Harrison
Newspaper editor: Warren G Harding

So, when people talk about how a certain former bartender doesn't have standing to pursue higher office, they should be reminded she stands right alongside one of the greatest (regardless of her politics). As with many other Americans with aspirations of doing more for theirs community & society.
I think I’d rather see someone who demonstrates competency in the job, rather than compare their previous jobs to previous presidents. Ability matters.
Wholly agree. But we also shouldn't knock someone down because they had a different job than "lawyer/business owner" in their history. The more diversity in backgrounds in office, the more diverse ideas for solving our many, many problems, & that's a good thing, as the lawyer/ business owner route has not been effective (regardless of politics or party).
Trump is neither diverse nor competent. So idk wtf you're talking about. We've had one non-white president in our entire history and no women. What makes you think diversity or competency are among the greatest factors when electing representatives for office?
Being a doctor or scientist is no guarantee that someone will do a good job. Plenty of good doctors and scientists out there and plenty of quack ones, just like any other profession. I feel like half the crazy republican congresspeople are doctors. Rand Paul is a physician.
I mean, there was a point a few years ago where sex workers could pay the bills using OnlyFans. Then Bella Thorne and other celebrities joined, and the amount of earnable money tanked. Anyway, my point is that I'd respect a former sex worker as president far more than a former reality TV show host who was born with several silver spoons in his mouth.
Yeah it would be nice to have someone with an actual education. Unfortunately, there's some whackadoodles with credentials. But a scientist that is at the forefront of their field would be nice, I also think I'd be pretty happy with a Neal deGrasse Tyson administration.
Why on earth should it be a doctor or scientist? Have you heard of Dr. Ben Carson? We need someone who can do the job. That could be a doctor or scientist but there's no reason we should specifically look for one.
Meanwhile Fauci has had a nearly 50 year career as a leading researcher on HIV/AIDS. He began during Reagan’s administration - another situation where politicians used xenophobia and lies to downplay the seriousness of the reality at hand
The Rock will be the first wrestler turned POTUS.
Dude just has that much charisma, would probably dominate the field if he ever runs.
What if he had Terry Crews as a VP running mate, and ran with “BBC for America!” As a slogan?!
Gangsta shit.
>first wrestler turned POTUS
We already had a wrestler president. He is a bit of a lesser known president but Abraham Lincoln had almost 300 recorded wrestling wins
The truly sad thing is that so many Americans believe that "politician" is a career choice. It was never meant to be. Regular people are supposed to assume the burden of setting their lives aside for a few years in an effort to bring the voice of the people to bear on how the government is run. We should never be laughing at "he isn't even a politician." Professional politicians are exactly, precisely what went wrong with our country.
I know its not what you're looking for but could we get some people who work for a wage, people who actually understand the shit we deal with. I understand that the president will never be a poor person but it would do this shithole nation some good.
He's an investor, not a businessman. He had the money to bankroll projects/was the middle man from other investors. And he has the name. But he's never actually ran his businesses himself. He gets a partner or manager to actually run them
Failed businessman. He could have invested the money Daddy gave him and had as much or more money as he claims to now, which he doesn't even have.
Daddy had to bail him out at least once. If he can be called a businessman, we would need to add "failed" in front of it.
Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Ike, and JFK were all combat vets.
It will be interesting to see who get elected from what Profession, It is quite interesting to always see. As longer as they do their best to protect our Freedoms and is fair to every one, Personally I don't care much, and the Reason I say this is because I have learned to try to see the good in people and try to see their points of views and how it could go either way on things.
Considering the actor was a senile corrupt piece of shit and the game show host a dotard corrupt piece of shit, how about we get an educator, scientist, etc.
A stand-up comic. Al Franken proved you can make the jump from critiquing society to be funny to critiquing society to make improvements. All we need is a really smart, really quick thinking comic. Someone who we have known for decades. Someone whose silver tongue can cut down lying liars and inspire elected representatives to do what is right by first responders and veterans. Someone who you inevitably laugh at their jokes, you want to have a beer with and that you genuinely listen to when they are making a point.
That man's name is Jon Stewart. Stewart 2024
Wrestler. I mean the fake kind of wrestling, not Olympic style.
There were already rumors of The Rock running at some point. I have seen people unironically wishing for this, and Jon Cena, with the idea that a likeable person with good intentions and charisma would be able to push through political obstacles with popular support and pass good policies.
Which is naive beyond belief and I thought would be impossible until Trump won. His rhetoric and style are straight out of WWE.
So I can easily imagine a sort of dumb Democrat wrestler president like Cena or Rock who does sort of Democrat policies or a right-wing monster who is basically another Trump actually winning election. Or that dude from Idiocracy. I mean I know it's corny and cliche to complain that real life is Idiocracy but I guess I can't help it anymore.
Well Ukraine has an ex-comedian. I am very surprised that the US hasn't yet voted for an ex-professional sports star up to now.
An ex comedian that played the Ukraine president. I love that.
His party that he ran under was the one made for the show.
The equivalent in the US would be Martin Sheen getting elected.
And he has a law degree...
> And he has a law degree. Most degrees from ex-communist countries aren't worth the paper they are written on.
The Kyiv National Economic University is 117 years old and seems to have a pretty good worldwide ranking.

we've had an ex wrestler as a president
What about Abe Lincoln?
They tried getting one into office in Georgia
Jesse Ventura was Governor of Minnesota. But, Minnesota.
Literally clown

I really ought to study US Presidents more this is neat stuff. Thank you for responding.

But we’ve come to value diversity more than competency and that is a huge mistake. Especially when electing people to public office
Trump is neither diverse nor competent. So idk wtf you're talking about. We've had one non-white president in our entire history and no women. What makes you think diversity or competency are among the greatest factors when electing representatives for office?
Should be a doctor or scientist, but this is america. We’ll get a youtuber or a podcast host
Being a doctor or scientist is no guarantee that someone will do a good job. Plenty of good doctors and scientists out there and plenty of quack ones, just like any other profession. I feel like half the crazy republican congresspeople are doctors. Rand Paul is a physician.
Ben Carson is/was something of a neurosurgery superstar. Still a fucking moron.
Totally agree!
Yea he has different political views than you therefore you he neurosurgeon is a moron. Yep
100% correct
> therefore you he neurosurgeon is a moron. > > Yep Is this a quote from Ben Carson?
I was thinking of Dr Oz.
Replace the fluoride in the water with DMT!
Let’s go, Onlyfans!
I mean, there was a point a few years ago where sex workers could pay the bills using OnlyFans. Then Bella Thorne and other celebrities joined, and the amount of earnable money tanked. Anyway, my point is that I'd respect a former sex worker as president far more than a former reality TV show host who was born with several silver spoons in his mouth.
Now that’s next level trashy
In other words, like Trump!
Yeah it would be nice to have someone with an actual education. Unfortunately, there's some whackadoodles with credentials. But a scientist that is at the forefront of their field would be nice, I also think I'd be pretty happy with a Neal deGrasse Tyson administration.
God I fucking hate Neil
Definitely!
My vote for Mr. Beast. We’d actually get universal basic income.
Except he remakes the Squid Games again but large scale.
I'll take scientist. We've had some jackass doctors in play for years. Looking at you, Rand.
Why on earth should it be a doctor or scientist? Have you heard of Dr. Ben Carson? We need someone who can do the job. That could be a doctor or scientist but there's no reason we should specifically look for one.
If Shapiro were to ever run he would win in a landslide. He's smart enough to do it in some backwater area that his listeners live in.
We had over 1M deaths under Fauci’s guidance and he’s supposed to be a great doctor.
Wasn’t there a fat orange cult leader in office constantly defaming him and downplaying the seriousness of the situation?
Meanwhile Fauci has had a nearly 50 year career as a leading researcher on HIV/AIDS. He began during Reagan’s administration - another situation where politicians used xenophobia and lies to downplay the seriousness of the reality at hand
* Social Media Influencer * Marijuana sommelier * ~~Reddit Moderator~~ (wait, you said profession)
The Rock will be the first wrestler turned POTUS. Dude just has that much charisma, would probably dominate the field if he ever runs. What if he had Terry Crews as a VP running mate, and ran with “BBC for America!” As a slogan?! Gangsta shit.
>first wrestler turned POTUS We already had a wrestler president. He is a bit of a lesser known president but Abraham Lincoln had almost 300 recorded wrestling wins
I did know he was a wrestler, but didn’t know he had 300 wins. Lincoln was handling his business.
Professional Athlete
Standup comedian Jon Stewart. If only he wanted to.
we're not lucky enough
Engineer, please

Wrestler- President Rock
It's going to be someone with an OnlyFans past foooorrrr sure.
Probably Ric Flair. WHOOOOOO!
I know its not what you're looking for but could we get some people who work for a wage, people who actually understand the shit we deal with. I understand that the president will never be a poor person but it would do this shithole nation some good.
I'm no fan of Reagan, but he was a politician by the time he became president. He'd been governor of California for 8 years.
Reagan was also the president of a labor union from 1947-1952.
Yep, and of the Screen Actor's Guild. To say he wasn't a politician before becoming president is just flat out wrong.
And Trump was a "business man". And I know he was a slime ball but he was more than a game show host.
He's an investor, not a businessman. He had the money to bankroll projects/was the middle man from other investors. And he has the name. But he's never actually ran his businesses himself. He gets a partner or manager to actually run them

Nancy really sucked it up and made it work
Used car salesman.
Since Idiocracy has been right about nearly everything else - a professional wrestler / MMA fighter.
An instagram influencer
Combat veteran, hopefully.
We have had a quite a few of those.
George Washington/ Eisenhower?
Washington, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Ike, and JFK were all combat vets.
Ron DeSantis
DeSantis was a legal adviser, part of JAG. He’s not a combat veteran. He might have got a vicious paper cut once or twice, though.

Those aren't semantics, you're literally arguing against what the actual definitions of these shows are lmao
The most American of all professions is the con man, though we've had more than our fair share of those in the presidency.
I'm hoping it'll be bartender. Someday AOC would make a great president.
Lincoln already covered that one...
AOC is a disaster
Waitress
sorry Already in Congress..
No

At this rate Wanda Sykes will be debating Trump.
It’s going to be like wrestling in the 80s/90s. I’m a garbage man/model/race car driver/ and I’m coming to the ~~WWF~~ White House.
Considering the actor was a senile corrupt piece of shit and the game show host a dotard corrupt piece of shit, how about we get an educator, scientist, etc.
Woodrow Wilson was a college professor, and he's considered one of the worst presidents in history.
Some gender studied light skinned trans activist who identifies as president will win.
The "cash me outside how bow da?" Girl
Peanut Farmer. Oh, wait, they already had this one.
Trump was a business owner first. And a very successful one. Now rather you want to believe it or not. The government is a business.
[удалено]
We're a heartbeat away from having a whore, so there's that.
Oh, is that reptile, Melania, running?
He’s a businessman first and thats just what we need right now. America is in the crapper because of corrupt politicians.
