I say, both, but policy is more important in most cases.
Explanation:
It really depends on what you mean by "character". Is this president a liar? A cheat? In this case, his policy is probably in doubt as well.
By "character", if you mean does he have a sex addiction (thinking Bill Clinton), then one could argue that that is his personal life, and it is more important what he stands for / promotes / what legislation he wants to pass at home and abroad.
I was embarrassed by Mr. Clinton's private life, but not by his policies.
If a president says that what is true is false, and that what is false is true, then I would doubt him on both counts. I would consider him a threat to our democracy and to the integrity of our country.
I think this is really an opinion question, and I have shared mine.
History is very important, and we're making some very interesting history right now.
This is an opinion question. In my opinion is their policy if it gets accomplished.
Explanation:
A person can be a great person but if what the policy pursued is wrong the end results are wrong. A person can be sincere but sincerely wrong. On the other had a person can be a scoundrel but pursue the right results for the wrong reasons, and the end results can be correct.
Jimmy Carter was one of the kindest, most honest people that have served as president. However in his desire to make everyone happy and do the right moral thing many things went wrong. Very little was accomplished during his presidency.
Richard Nixon was a scoundrel but accomplished a lot during his presidency. He opened up trade with China, ended the Vietnam War, negotiated a nuclear arms deal with Russia, and created a positive economic climate. His motives may have been selfish but the results benefited the nation.
