Being the President of the United States of America is the highest crown anyone living in the country can attain. Having the title means you are the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. You are the commander and chief of the most powerful military as well. It means every move you make, reflects the entire United States of America to the rest of the world.
Using modern day tactics
It's safe to say that former President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump used today's tactics to successfully win their campaigns with ease. In 2008, President Barack Obama used the influence that social media had to offer to present a much stronger campaign than his opponent John McCain.
Donald Trump successfully won his campaign in 2016 by being unconsciously outspoken, and Americans loved to watch because of the entertainment that came along with him. Either way, a win is a win. Even if the more experienced candidate lost to the more socially aware one.
Popularity vote
Both Barack Obama and Donald Trump are very popular public figures throughout the entire world. Donald Trump has been a rich and wealthy man for the majority of his life. Barack Obama worked his way up the ranks of government positions to ultimately attain the President of the United States of America position. Both of their accomplishments have placed them as the most talked about public figures in America. Although Obama is out of the presidential seat, the media still follows him in the social world very heavily.
Barack's popularity has made America for the first time look like a dual-president country.
Donald Trump
In November 2016, Donald Trump was elected the new president of the United States of America. Going against a well-established politician like Hillary Clinton, Trump was an underdog despite his wealthy status. However, Donald Trump used his strategic stock owner mentality and found a way to control the market of voting.
He dominated the presidential race by displaying his unfiltered personality to the public and wisely investing in his own campaign with his personal assets. If Trump's campaign did anything, it showed the world you can be the president just by being a successful businessman.
Donald Trump would not have been popular with the public at the start of his presidential campaign if he was not as wealthy prior to.
Being the president was always something he wanted to achieve. Despite what his non-believers may think, he's created a wave that will forever instill confidence in the successful non-politician to use their knowledge they've attained in other avenues in life and use it to lead a nation that always seems to need financial restructuring.
Barack Obama
Just being the first United States president of African-American descent is enough to consider you the G.O.A.T. when it comes this topic, considering the fact that before Barack, all forty-three previous presidents were White/Caucasian. Besides being first to attain that, one of his key moves was leading the United States military to capture one of its most wanted terrorists' for decades in Osama Bin Laden.
More importantly, Barack did an excellent job of keeping the country at peace.
Many troops were able to come home from the Iraq war and be with their families. The strains the recession left on Americans were lifted by Barack's consistent message of hope. Like Barack in 2008, Americans began to use the benefits of social media to create their own success. The unemployment rate has dropped substantially since 2008, due to Americans having the ability to operate and promote their own businesses online. Despite what his non-believers may think, Barack Obama created a new way that will forever leave Americans with the capability to rule social media and build the best brand you can build; yourself.
