When it comes to Trump being president there's a lot of things we as the people can say. According to Machiavelli perspective on "Power" Trump isn't a good leader. In the story" Prince" Machiavelli speaks about the necessity of cruel actions to keep power when in leadership position. He also said, "he...must stick to the good so long as he can, but, being compelled by necessity, he must be ready to take the way of evil" (Machiavelli 63). Trump hasn't been doing any of the strategies that Machiavelli has set for solid aid.
When I was doing this post I decided to look at Demarshun for my male and for my female I chose Dainty. When reading Demarshun post his view on women was " the modern day woman in majority of households is the head of that household. I remember there was a time, when the "man of the house" made decisions and those decisions was the law of that house". whereas, when reading Dainty post she feels as if , "most women play the role of both wife and mother, but also as a contributing and equal member of the household and society". When reading each of these post they both shared a similar thought in regards to women having more say so, then back in the day.
It can be argued that Trump is a good president based on Machiavelli's teachings but i say otherwise and i agree with all what you have said. Yes Machiavelli did stress the importance of being form and not too lenient. But at the same time he also stressed the importance of a leader being fair, not unnecessarily cruel, learning from the mistakes and successes of his predecessors and just being the best leader he or she could be.
