What's “a good politician”?

It happens all the time; folks that want to excuse Trump in the United States or Macron in France always try to make excuse for these heads of state by claiming they're not politicians and that's why they don't know how to navigate the complicated paths of the political universe.

I beg to differ. Both are excellent politicians, not amateurs, and I should say morally corrupt to perfectly find their way in the political maze they've chosen to cap their career. They just “pretend” they're not politicians to exonerate themselves from any mistake they make.

I don't think I'm going on a limb by saying that “good politicians” are pretty bad people that are ready to do about anything that will advance their personal cause. A “good politician” is in fact, an oxymoron; they're all bad, at least bad enough to be only of use in a political environment.
