Negotiate with the country that you can't prevent acquiring nuclear weapons, and antagonize the country that you do have a chance of preventing obtaining nuclear weapons. There need to be intelligence standards for presidential candidates. If there had been, then Trump would have never been elected.
How about going a bit further? All presidential candidates, in addition to the intelligence standard you mention, should be required to:
1. Pass a top secret (or whatever is above 'top secret') security background check.
2. Show a minimum of 20 years of tax returns.
3. Pass a psychological evaluation screening.
4. Pass a competency test regarding basic knowledge of government operations.
Is there anything unreasonable about ANY of this?
