Presidents Get to Meet Important Leaders and Heads of State

As President, Hillary Clinton will have an opportunity for meetings with many world leaders.

Here's an example from President Obama's term in office:

1. So would a President Trump, which would be pretty dreadful.

I can't imagine how tacky his state dinners would be, especially after he redecorated the White House after his own hideous nouveau-riche apartment, which looks like Versailles as decorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp. He'd probably have strippers as the entertainment.

3. I know. Scary, isn't it.

He's a boorish, rude, unpleasant man. He also has a penchant for insulting people without even knowing he has done that. Not great characteristics in a President. Neither is blustering, which seems to be his main personality trait.

On the other hand, Hillary Clinton has considerable experience with meeting world leaders and has made many good connections during her time as Secretary of State. That works strongly in her favor. She's already a skilled diplomat.

2. When you get right down to it, Hillary has already met many of the world leaders,

is familiar with issues on the international level and has the experience and diplomacy needed to work with other heads of state.

4. Yes. You're absolutely right.

Her experience will serve her well in that area.
