Why use this stupid picture if asking about a person's qualifications for presidency?

Constitutionally, yes. But before jumping in and saying he is not based on other factors, take a look at previous Presidents to see if he is more or less qualified than they were. Obama? He did nothing of substance before becoming President. Was he, in 2008, "qualified" to be President? Based on his experience, no.
How about Clinton? He actually protested AGAINST the USA during the Viet Nam war. He had no respect for the military as a whole and said so. Did that disqualify him from being President?
Why do a lot of people like Trump? Because he is like that loud mouth at the bar who has had one too many. He says what is on his mind. Not like the other politicians who mince around trying to say the right thing at all times. Donald Trump has plans and he puts them out there. Maybe not the best plans and maybe not put in the right way, but plans none the less. Other politicians waffle around and never bring substance to the debates.
I'm not endorsing Trump. But he is a breath of fresh air from those who have risen through the political ranks.

About John McCain. Al Franken said a lot worse about him. But of course that was under "humor" so it is okay. *eyes rolling* But once again Trump brings up a legitimate point. What makes a person a hero compared to the rest of the people in the military? Is simply being captured enough to be considered a war hero? Why? Technically he screwed up and got captured.

I believe everyone who has served honorably in the military is a hero. But, what does it really take to be labeled a Hero? Basically anybody who risks themselves to save/help others is a Hero. But is rotting in a jail cell for 6 years at that level? He would definitely be a Hero if he had been captured while freeing others from POW camps. But that is not the case. It is something to ponder upon.

Qualified. He can't be bought off. And he is straight forward. His ideas make a lot of sense and like he has said he will have people that are strong members for his office as well. Defense experts as well. He won't get the chance though, too many people out there can't take hard truth and the media is going to play against him for old who cares about Bengazi Clinton.

SGT (Join to see) - What part of, "No one asked about Trump's birth certificate because Trump, as well as his father, were U.S. public figures for decades and it was well known that Trump was born in the U.S.", don't you understand?

So being a public figure makes you a citizen? Ok..ok. I'm not debating whether President Trump is a citizen or not. He is still my Commander in Chief. No, my problem stems from questions being asked of Obama. I may not have agreed with him on many things, but come on seriously do you think that a Harvard trained lawyer and Senator would consider lying about his citizenship? No brother, if his name had been John Smith, there would have been no questions raised. And according to many minorities, if he wasn't a black person, the question would have never been raised. So, recapping, just because President Trump and his father were public figures doe not mean they are citizens. I'm not saying that he isn't, but if that's your proof well, I do remember when President Obama did produce his birth certificate and people still didn't believe him. They thought it was fake. But he did produce it. Maybe he should have been on more TV shows. What burns me the most is that I think Hillary was the one who started this nonsense.

SGT (Join to see) -When did being a Harvard trained lawyer and Senator become the gold standard for honesty? There is a lot of evidence that doesn't support your position. As I stated on another thread, the birth certificate that Obama claims to be authentic has been proven to be a forgery by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Dept., Arizona. There is a video online that shows in detail how it was forged and after watching that video and seeing the evidence, you'd have to be either very stupid or very dishonest to state the birth certificate is authentic. Further, recently, former Hawaii elections clerk Tim Adams signed an affidavit swearing he was told by his supervisors in Hawaii that no long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate existed for Barack Obama Jr. in Hawaii and that neither Queens Medical Center nor Kapi’olani Medical Center in Honolulu had any record of Obama having been born in their medical facilities. It is known that Obama sought and obtained foreign student aid while in college here in the U.S. How could a U.S. citizen apply for and obtain foreign student aid? Promotional material for Obama's biography states he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. And Obama's half brother, Malik, tweeted a copy of Obama's birth certificate showing he was born in a hospital in Kenya. If it's your position that all of this is false, how about showing some proof of that.

Wait... did you say verified by the Maricopa County Sheriffs Dept.? LOL. wow. Well, I guess it must be a false document. Seriously, if he isn't a citizen, damn did we get played. If there had been actual proof, you really think he would have been president? Apparently more than half the country along with congress and the attorney general didn't think much about your proof either. Oh, and he did it for two terms. None of this was questionable until he ran for president. No other president was questioned about their citizenship, but the first black candidate who actually stood a chance of winning did. No proof needed for that comment huh?

I want a community organizer who is also somewhat of a professor. He should have served 2 years as a state legislator, and 2 years as a US Senator.

this is the bar I am setting. That person would be the best US President in the history of the world. He will probably get the UN Peace Prize right before ordering tons of drone strikes on countries that we have not declared war on.

Yes, he is as qualified as Obama if not more so. I think he is unstable but that along would not disqualify you from being President.
