Question 2

Donald Duck. He has been president since the 2016 election. He ran against Hilary Clinton(Democrat). He won because a) He has a lot of money and(b) he campaigned in middle-America. Some people also speculate that sexism also played a big role in his win.

Question 4

Question 5

Abe. They seem to get along ok during meetings, I think Abe understands the importance of having good political and trade ties with the U.S., but I don't think Abe truly respects him as a person.

Question 6

Bill Clinton. He was a born leader. Incredibly charismatic. He was able to ride the wave of a domestic boom in the economy and get away with a public affair at the same time.
