Obama and Trump were good contrasts there. Obama could speak for hours about nothing and leave having said nothing of note. Trump would just jab people with truth statements and you always knew where he stood on almost anything. Nobody is perfect but Trump came off as far more honest to me than Obama. Their responses to simple questions would usually amount to this:

“Should we be letting in illegal immigrants into the US?”

Obama: “There was a time when we were all illegal. We came here from the….” Then he’d go on for like an hour.

Trump: “NO! BUILD THE WALL!”

“Will the US militarily intervene if China or Russia tries to X or Y?”

Obama: “On the world stage, we try to maintain a….” Then another hour of nonsense.

Trump: “IF RUSSIA OR CHINA TRIES TO X OR Y I’M DROPPING NUKES ON MOSCOW AND BEIJING.”

People shit on Trump for how he talked being unpresidential but he was one of the most honest presidents we’ve ever had.
