Here is why Shohei Ohtani should be president:
He’s polite
He’s really good at his job
He has a sense of humor, and never employs it to try to hurt others
He even cleans up after them
He would never hurt someone intentionally
If he did so unintentionally, he would apologize immediately
He called off violence from his teammates when he was injured unintentionally
He does not seek revenge, even when someone has done him wrong
Resentment is foreign to him
He smiles a lot and scowls very little
He is bilingual
He is nice to children
He is one of a kind, but doesn’t brag about it
He is faithful to his wife
He doesn’t pretend to be perfect
He’s generous, and brings happiness and joy to people
He’s funny
Did I mention that he’s polite?
He’s a good-looking guy
Of all these qualifications, the most important one for a candidate for office in the United States today is that last one, for any guy or girl. The same way Fűhrer Schlumpf picks his Cabinet members. And look at the job they’re doing.
Why can’t we, in the United States, raise young men like Shohei Ohtani?
Could it be that we teach our kids to be selfish?
And showoffs?
And braggarts?
And bullies.
And we reward them for this?
