In general do you think it is important for a president to be well read? Basically, should they be the type of person that typically reads a lot?

Rather than reading all day or playing golf, I would rather them spend their time making America Great Again.

Absolutely. That said, I realize that while one is President there may not be much time for it.
I feel the same about them playing on Twitter and watching the talking heads on cable news.
Good then you agree that they should be spending their time making America Great Again.
Being a well read person is a probably a prerequisite for that though.
For example, Bush read as many as 90 books a year according to Rove, but I doubt he read all day long.
He probably did like most readers and spent some time reading in bed at night or in the evenings.
BTW, both Bush and Obama waited months before playing a round of golf after they were sworn in, Trump is already doing it.

As a reader I don't quite understand people who don't like to read a lot, like my daughter, but I try not to hold it against them. Some people just don't enjoy it and it doesn't take away anything from a person. :shrug: I mean let's say a person reads 50 shades of grey five times a week, is that really going to make then better just because they are reading something? I don't think so.
Trick question. Just be honest and say it the way you mean it.
You only think its a trick question because you don't like the implications. I doubt most people would see it as being a "trick question".
Maybe you're afraid to make your implications known? Because I would require you to prove them.
There is no implication. I believe it is important that a president is well read. I voted yes. The only bad implication would be if you think it is important for a president to be well read, but you supported Trump. If you don't think it is important for a president to be well read, then there is no bad implications there either.

Who's going to say no to a question like that? Should people be well read?
