Listed above are qualities I would hope to find in a leader, please indicate the ones you see in Donald Trump.
 
He’s biodegradable.

/end list
 
He looks like a pumpkin wearing a squirrel pelt, which I suppose is somewhat entertaining. He is also inspiring to the selfish and willfully ignorant. He demonstrates that as long as you have money, things like ethics, morals, laws, and lack of intelligence need not stand in the way of you getting everything that you want all of the time.
 
The lack of a poll officially makes this my favorite thread about Trump's leadership qualities.
 
He makes the average criminal sympathetic.
 
I learned during the Comey hearing that he doesn't beat his wife.

Men who don't beat their wives are a-okay in my book.

He's smarter than you. He knows how to make a poll. He knows how to beat the overwhelming favorite. He knows how to live in your heads rent free. need more?

I think real leaders are good to people, even their enemies. They promote good relations between people, not racial strife. They honor other elected leaders, not try to burn them every way possible, etc.

Insofar as the man's now POTUS, hell, yes...a lot more.
Essential skills for leadership
Five Traits that Define Great Leadership
The Most Important Leadership Competencies, According to Leaders Around the World
What makes a CEO ‘exceptional’?
Executive Perceptions of the Top 10 Soft Skills Needed in Today’s Workplace

Trump occasionally, though rarely in public, exhibits a few of the requisite "soft skills" great leaders must routinely and consistently demonstrate, and he has none of the "hard skills" pertaining to:
  • public policy design, management, and execution,
  • governance theory and practice
  • jurisprudential theory and practice
  • application of epistemological analytical methods
The man is good at marketing; that's it. Otherwise, he may well be the least intellectually adroit, least learned, least capable and most dishonest POTUS we've ever had. The only thing he's shown he's consistently good at is bamboozling Trumpkins with his bull****.

Unlike career politicians who are adept at hiding their real intentions, sidestepping and deceiving, Trump reads like a book. That's a kind of honesty in itself. He's no politician, which is one of the things I like about him.

Redeeming Trump Qualities.

There aren't any.

I note the lack of a poll or list and am amused.
 
President Trump is old, follows a poor dietary regime, abhors exercise and is in a high-stress job with irregular hours. These five conditions lead to his most admirable quality - low life expectancy.

Cheers.

That isn't what I'm amused about, although it did aid in creating that amusement.
