CLEVELAND, Ohio — Happy Presidents Day.
What does being presidential mean to you? Do the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt come to mind?
“This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Perhaps you think of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Or recall the actions of George W. Bush, in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Or maybe you think of President Donald Trump’s strongly worded opinions on Twitter.
Trump attacks detractors on social media, and pushes his own agenda. Needless to say, his style differs from many of his predecessors.
Trump doesn’t sugar coat his thoughts, and many of his supporters find his candor refreshing.
Yet is it still presidential? We want to know what you think.
