    I've seen little to indicate that he's anything other than a sincere, effective, and passionate leader

    Zelenski is a trained actor.

    Did you see any signs Jack Gleeson wasn't a petty psychotic little shit in Game of thrones? He's actually a pretty cool guy in real life.

        No. I am comparing an actor playing a part to an actor playing a part.

        Which careers pass your "ok to be voted into presidency" test?

        Career doesn't matter. Its who holds their purse strings that matters. Same man who paid Zelensky the actor, paid for Zelensky the president's campaign. (and also funded neo-nazi paramilitary groups) Same boss. Just a bigger billing. Same job different character.
