      he was a good man - but he gave up the presidency temporarily after lying about having MS, frequently engaged in black ops in other countries, shut down the government like Trump, and knowingly employed an alcoholic who was constantly relapsing during the campaign trail as his chief of staff. Also his communications director leaked military secrets, his press secretary was in a suspicious relationship with a journalist, his wife committed medical fraud and due to knock on affects of his security protocol he and his speech writer are shot, he and his senior staff are exposed to a potential chemical weapon and quarantined, several secret service agents are killed during active service protecting the first family, and during some of these killings his daughter is kidnapped.

      His administration was a mess lol

    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.

    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.

    When he wasn’t trying to engage in his favorite pastime of killing and vilifying Superman, Lex Luthor was a pretty good President all things considered.

      As long as it’s an actor/actress who played the president in something.

        Well in comparison it would be all of them. In general, I’d say Bill Pullman.
