    Look, the bar has been set so low that even Idiocracy has a better president.

    Anyone. Literally any movie president would be better than what we have. I’d take Bill Pullman, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson from Mars attacks, anyone.

        I’d be fine with that. He eventually found the smartest person in the world and put him in charge. Trump just appointss sycophants that are the most vile, evil people on the planet.

    The versions of historical american presidents seen in the american mythology. The world could use a president as great as the George Washington patriotic Americans think he was.

        beethoven stopped a girl from drowning, helped a kid stand up to bullies, helped a girl get a date, and stood up to sleezy business people stopping someone from making a bad deal. president beethoven would be a blessing.

    The Federation president is probably passable. Though Star Trek really doesn’t show how the Federation government is structured probably because they don’t want to lean too much into the socialist undertones in case they get canceled (like actually canceled) for it.

      He knew things were bad and had the will to see them fixed, despite what the Representative from North Carolina said.

        Also once Camacho found the world’s smartest man, he demanded his help

        As opposed to decrying him as a woke pansy intellectual and deporting him

      Bill Pullman is best president

      Also I dunno why I always get chills when I hear this obviously cheesy line. He sold it.

        Easily one of the best movie speeches of all time. I remember seeing it in a theater in NYC when it was first released, and the entire auditorium went apeshit.

          Also kinda wild that USA wants to share something with the world, as close to it as 4th of July.

          What would the equivalent speech be today?
