President

What I remembered from Donald's presentation on the article "After Iran gets the Bomb" is that the USA has three choices 1st is to bomb them, which would take forever to do and impossible to do because we cannot bomb every single place, the 2nd is to talk to them, which would be really hard to do also because they don't really want to talk, and the last is to accept it and try to contain it, which would probably be the best solution. Listening to Donald's presentation, I could not help but to ponder on what I would do if I were the president. I cannot figure out how presidents live. Let's just take this Iran thing for example, if I were the president, would I bomb Iran? or would I try to talk to them? or would I just accept it and try to contain it? What should I do? Because I just know that whatever decision I make, someone will always think I made the wrong decision, I was really stupid, or I didn't know what I was thinking. No matter what I do, I can never make the United States happy, there will always be someone who hates me, who thinks I'm stupid. Then how do presidents live? How do you live knowing someone hates your guts? How do you sleep at night, knowing each decision you make can impact a million other people? I can't even decide on which restaurant to take my mom to when she visits me. So how do presidents live? How do they live with so much pressure on their shoulders? How do they live thinking about pleasing other all the time? How do they live knowing that the decision they make today will be learned by kids in school 50 years later? With so much pressure, so much hate, so much support, and so much love, how do presidents live?
