Many Americans Don't Believe Trump Can Handle Presidential Duties

I am one of these. First of all, he is the oldest president ever elected. This could be a problem just because he is too set in his ways regarding how he lives his life and won't be able to properly adapt to protecting the American People. He is used to only protecting his family and himself and I'm worried he once again will be so busy protecting himself that he will be incapable of protecting America and Americans from all dangers within and without the U.S.
 
Also, he doesn't have a first lady type of wife who is up for the job. So, he doesn't have the support of a Nancy Reagan that even Reagan did when he began to get senile in office. Most people don't know that Nancy Reagan was mostly president and directing him the second 4 years in office because he mostly just wasn't there anymore. There is no one like this that Trump trusts except for maybe Ivanka, his daughter in my opinion because he has a very different relationship with Melania his wife than one in which she is going to welcome being 1st lady.

The public was more confident in the past three presidents.

Less than half of Americans are confident that President-elect Donald Trump can handle several presidential duties, a new Gallup poll finds.
With less than three weeks before Trump takes the oath of office, only 46 percent of Americans are optimistic in his ability to handle an international crisis. Forty-seven percent say they are confident he can use military force wisely and just 44 percent believe Trump can prevent major scandals in his administration.
On the other hand, the poll did show that 60 percent of Americans are confident in Trump’s ability to effectively work with Congress. A little more than half (55 percent) think he will be able to defend U.S. interests abroad.
Compared to the last three U.S. presidents when they took office, Trump polls far lower in Americans’ confidence levels. At least 7 in 10 Americans were confident in key issues before Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton entered the White House.
Although Trump’s favorability has risen since the election, he still has the lowest favorability rating of any president-elect.
When Trump takes office on Jan. 20, the ongoing issues he’ll have to face include the fight against ISIS, Europe’s migrant crisis and Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
