Should national leaders be sensitive?

[Jason76]

Some have cut down Trump as being a vulgar pig. However, though, could it be so-called caring types like Obama are actually fake? Also, does their caring really help out people anyway? I mean, what good treating people like a baby all the time?

Anyway, I don't totally agree with the above sentiment, but want to hear some debate.

They should be sensitive, but also logical.

Let me get one thing straight before I weigh in....I think this should apply to everyone and not just big leaders.

I think everyone should have a certain amount of sensitivity, however, you can't wear your heart on your sleeve or your going to get butt hurt every time you turn around. Some sensitivity is okay, don't get me wrong. It's one of those things where you have to learn when to be sensitive and when to not use it.

There is insensitive as in stoic - and there insensitive jerks.

There's another term for it. Good PR.

Trump does this fairly badly, although you could argue that he does it very well as no matter what he does it'll be buried before long by yet another scandal relating to him. And to get things done, all he has to do is stir the pot up a bit more to make countless people go crazy.

I think people to some extent do like a leader who is blunt and to the point, although it would be nice, if someone who actually knew what they're doing and isn't shady as all hell stepped up to take the reins next election cycle.

Then again, there are some rumours that Zuckerberg wants to run and that would be utterly horrifying. It would be like the NSA on steroids lol

One of the beautiful things about leaders who don't have a clue about technology is that it's this alien thing which they're scared to touch, as they might accidentally screw things up.

Every-time they try, it involves measures which are so stupid and so ridiculous that they usually wind up getting overturned. Zuckerberg actually does understand technology and well, we know what he would likely do with it.

Huh?

/thread is internet lingo which stands for " I agree with his answer and believe without a doubt that it's the only correct answer to the question".

It depends. Are they putting America First?

In history among various groups there was always this distrust that liberals were phony and they were either secretly condescending and/or only in it for personal gain. For instance, Malcolm X touted this line about American liberals in the days before his racism mellowed out somewhat.
