Eh. Knowledge and experience are different things. Most Presidents don't have experience to lead a military but they all do.

No. You can be Commander-in-Chief and lead the military without military experience.

You can't lead economic policy if you've never had a job.  You shouldn't even be able to run for President if you've never had a job.  Professional losers should stay in academia.

What kind of work experience would qualify someone to be president?

Plumbers, bankers, carpenters, teachers, nurses, delivery drivers...etc, would any of those people be qualified in your view?

Established businessman, someone with a proven track record of leadership and success.
Anything else, like Pols, lawyers or community agitators is out. They all come with an agenda.

I'll settle for cashier at a Wendy's.  Maybe even a paperboy.

If there's some evidence they did those things, sure.  Maybe not teacher -- they typically don't have experience.  Bernie was a carpenter like I was an astronaut.

Most of these guys were either lawyers or in the military or both. Only 4 didn't hold political office before becoming Prez, including DJT.

Why do you post this shit? I don't give a damn what we elected in the past, considering the US was for decades an agrarian society.
We're talking about today, Marxists like Sanders, Liars like Fauxchauntus, crooks like Biden, none of these people are qualified for the office!

Commander in chief does not necessarily mean they are leading, more like setting policy. And setting policy does not mean they know what they are doing, ex. obama and iran.
