The President has always been an iconic figure in American history. From George Washington to John F. Kennedy and all the way up to Barack Obama, presidents have inspired the masses and worked for the greater good of the country.

But with the election of Donald Trump, we see a man who does not fully grasp what the presidency is about or simply doesn’t want to do any of the hard work that comes with the office.

So let’s define what the role of the president should be. The president of the United States, whoever it may be, should be someone who is well composed, has a desire to work hard for the interests of every American and represents a positive image of America to the rest of the world.

The president has a tough job. They have to toe the line between mascot and quarterback. They have to get the people excited about the future while working everyday to create the better future they promised in their campaign.

But Trump doesn’t understand this. He wants the glory and the attention that comes with the presidency, but doesn’t want to do any of the work.

During the 2016 campaign, Ohio governor John Kasich was contacted by Donald Trump Jr. and he offered to make Kasich the “most powerful vice president in history.” Trump Jr. told him he would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy while Trump would be in charge of “Making America great again.” That would leave Trump with nothing to do.

Trump, whether because of ignorance, laziness or stupidity, is unwilling to do the work that comes with the presidency. He would rather put the responsibilities on his staff or just put it off. In his first year, he has been golfing over 90 times and has spent 126 days at Trump properties. That sounds like the only thing he is making great again is his golf stroke.

He also has started his day later and later, putting off his oral briefings, because written briefings are too much work for him to read, until 11 a.m. His daily briefings have been wildly inconsistent too, as there have been only three weeks where he has received a daily briefing on all five days of the week. That is nothing but absolute laziness.

This is not a man who wants to make a positive change for America. He would much rather play golf, hold rallies and watch Fox and friends sing his praises every morning. He isn’t interested in helping Americans. He is only interested in helping himself.

So on President’s Day, let’s remember what a president should be. They should be someone who is willing to put the time in to improve our country with real action. It should be someone who respects everyone, not someone who mocks people who are disabled or calls Mexicans rapists.

The president should be someone who cares about this country and the people who make it amazing.
