He is confident, not cocky. He surrounds himself with and consults knowledgeable people who have experience he lacks (or lacked) in order to make informed decisions.

He is kind, compassionate and empathetic, not cruel. He does not take joy in hurting anyone. He genuinely cares about his citizens and loves his country.

He is humble, not prideful. He does not brag nor boast nor bully nor belittle. He is respectful of others.

He is witty and maintains his sense of humor, when appropriate. After all, his previous career was comedian so he understands the necessity of humor to make it through hard times.
