replyBetween being hired and being elected? There’s a massive difference and it’s not pedantic at all to point out the ridiculousness of a statement like “the president was hired”.
It's a common colloquialism to say "America hired him to do a job" referring to the POTUS.
replyFrom a simple query...
"It is common to use the phrase "hired" when discussing the U.S. Presidency in a metaphorical or political context, particularly to emphasize that the President is a public servant working for the citizens. While the official process is "electing," the "hired" analogy is frequently used to highlight accountability, public service, and temporary, contractual-like tenure"
Just go look it up, and educate yourself.
But this pointless internet interaction is over.
