Not necessarily equally, but I value them both a lot

Given the short description of "lol that's a funny joke" the no trolling rule might be best removed. Besides, someone on the pro side will likely call the denial of alternative facts trolling, so embracing the fun has clear benefits.

Out of curiosity, what is your definition of "good?" Or rather, which do you value more? Presidential in mannerisms, or effective in policy?
