Donald won't duck for cover if elected president

A large stature, beauty and handsome appearance are of secondary importance. But to be strong vocally completes the aura. 

Such people always have vindictive enemies and loyal friends, but depiction in a cartoon or ridicule by a comedian assures them they’ve arrived.

Winston Churchill was endowed with these qualities. He was not a product of academia and was even considered a dunce, but he had a powerful intellect and a great command of the English language to enhance his natural person.

Margaret Thatcher commanded attention and respect, standing head and shoulders above her contemporaries in Europe. From her very first syllable, there were few who dared interrupt her. 

Alas, she is the last UK leader of such stature. She’s had no successor.

Ronald Reagan was referred to as charming but it was his presence and persona that earned him the top job. Although he was good-looking too.

But who do we have today who will be so remembered? Who stands out at a UN meeting or international conference? Only two come to mind. Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. 

In a group of contemporary world leaders, they stand out in a line of grey suits due to their presence and persona. They alone have the courage 

to ignore political correctness, fight for their countries 

and announce the truth against the odds, in spite 

of controversy.

Among the groups struggling for the right to become the US president in 2016, there is only one person who stands above the rest. Donald Trump has the magnetism to make the White House.

He’s already in cartoons and has his comedian admirers. Like Reagan, he’s a celebrity, not a politician, and like Reagan, he has presence and persona. Trump, once in the Oval Office, could share a stage with Putin and Netanyahu and not be lost in the crowd. He’s the only chance of recognition the United States has and he will develop with the job.
