No, what he needs is to believe in American values, unlike the current Resident.

One of the wisest, most well read, articulate, intelligent, and God fearing people I’ve ever known, was born into a poor North Carolina farm family in 1898. He attended a one room school house where a single teacher taught 12 grades of students. At 16 he left school and lived in the attic over a general store. Eventually he saved enough to start his own store, in what was then a nearby town, becoming a highly respected member of the business community.

Throughout his life he read voraciously allowing him to speak with knowledge and insight about almost any topic. He was active in his local church and proudly lived a virtuous, Christian life daily. His word was his bond and he conducted most of his business and personal life with a handshake. He treated all people with dignity and respect and envied no one. He loved his country and his family and while he never engaged in politics he would have been a great governor or president.
