But either way, we don’t need a celebrity with no governing experience to be President again.

I'm going to assume this is the video.

Some DU'ers refuse to watch YouTube, I refuse to watch anything on TikTok. I refuse to click on any TikTok link.

None. Enough with the celebrity narcissist candidates.

I want someone with actual experience to run our government.

He strikes me as a ham who talks too much. About five years ago when a mixup at the Oscars Show caused the wrong film company to take the stage for the Best Movie Award. A frantic assistant producer was running back and forth behind the company to sort out the mess. The next day, Johnson gave an interview in which he stated that he (who was seated in or near the front row) thought that the assistant producer had "gone rogue" and that he (Johnson) was about to take the stage to subdue him. Johnson struck me as having the mentality of a fifth grade bully who tries to make every situation about himself.
