Anyone who could be a better president than the people who actually run for president would never run for president because they know how awful of a job it really is.

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Being president is hard because anything you do can have huge repercussions. Say the wrong sentence and you can fuck up the relationship with a whole country. Wish the job was given to 40 something people instead of people with the cognitive power of a toddler.

I would be infinitely better and I would take the job.

I just don't have the correct nationality or corporate backing (I would jail all the corporation people instantly)
