I would vote for Shaq for President.
You should really look into this Prince. He's such a genuinely good person, savvy entrepreneur, hardworking individual who is genuinely interested in 'doing good for the sake of doing good''.
The big one for me is the Shaq Shoes. He specifically built a brand of high quality basketball shoes that don't look like trash because kids were getting killed over Jordons and Shaqs Reebox brand were too expensive.
Brief article on it: https://www.complex.com/sneakers/a/gerald-flores/shaq-sneakers-interview
I find it funny that I'm not a sports ball fan, nor do I know much about Shaq, but I do know the shoe story!
“A lady cursed me out one day at the arena. I reached in my pocket to give her $1,000 and she smacked it out of my hand,” Shaq reminisced. “She said, ‘Why doesn’t anyone try to make affordable shoes?’”
Shaq just shaqin
Eh should be better than senile genocider or senile absolute psychopath
have you seen most of the past presidents? the bar is not high.
IMO disqualifying him using unrealistic (based on current president performances) criteria is just silly
I mean, if the anecdote is an example of how he solves problems, maybe he's not cut out for that. If you don't like online classes you could just go to pretty much any other college/university instead of paying 15 times the price to a for profit diploma mill.
Wouldn't he be distracted by interrupting fans? If it's his friends then he can just talk to them about homework and projects.
People would get excited on day one and then they'd leave him alone the rest of the semester. Celebrities go do degrees all the time.

Are you sure about that?
Idk, I'd argue that given his wealth and influence he's probably in a better position to do good as a private individual rather than having to get consensus with people who think migrants deserve to be shot on sight (as long as they aren't white), that "freedom of religion" means choosing which Christian sect you belong to and that women shouldn't be allowed healthcare
Where did that come from?
