Pretty sure Trump is missing way to many of this qualities in my personal opinion, he is anything but a Boy Scout, sad to have to apologize for the political agenda he brought to the Boys.
A Scout is:
Trustworthy,
He is trying very hard to get Congress to pass most of the major things he promised. Seems like it's his Republican Congress folks, like backstabbing McCain, as well as, to be expected, the Democrats who are blocking his attempts.
He certainly has kept his trust in the type of judges he nominates.
Loyal,
Loyalty cuts both ways. Who are the Boy Scouts loyal to? To those who oppose them or betray them? He seems to be loyal to those loyal to him. And those whom he considers to be lacking either in loyalty or ability, he removes.
Helpful,
How is he not helpful in terms of being President. He is out there on a limb trying to help the country be, as he says, great again, but for that he is mocked, betrayed, backstabbed, and opposed at every turn. Who is it, exactly, that is not being helpful?
Friendly,
Courteous,
Kind
Many who know him personally say he is all that.
When it comes down to the ugly, contentious, world of politics, many politicians find it necessary to battle in the dirt--including most Presidents. The really nice ones, in the heat of battle, often don't survive. You might want to check out how mean and evil most of the "great" Presidents have acted in the past.
The Press smooth's out the rough edges of Presidents when it is on their side, often to the point of glamorizing diahonorable behavior. When it is not . . . well let's just say it won't paint a pretty picture.
Obedient,
He is the President. He does not exactly get the kind of "obedience" one would expect a President to get. He seems to obey the laws that apply to the Presidency, as other Presidents have not. The "great" ones often ran roughshod over niceties such as, for instance, constitutional checks and balances.
Cheerful,
Thrifty,
Brave,
Clean,
Oh, come on. He often exudes cheerfulness, he is certainly no less thrifty than his immediate predecessors or those of the past 70 years, he hasn't lacked braveness in the face of media or political opposition, and he appears to be well bathed and groomed.
and Reverent.
