The man had a serious problem and found the smartest man in the world to fix it. Better than most presidents.

Obviously. Came here to say this. The first president to listen to scientists.

Weird. I always thought that was Rainier Wolfcastle who said that. He was sort of the Simpsons universe version of Arnold Schwartzenegger. And the same actor did the voice of Arnold that normally does Wolfcastle.

Not sure if he counts as US President, but they never clarified if he was the president of the US or the world or whatever, so he still counts! 👍

Agreed, but why, in this specific case?

herrvogel@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

At the very beginning of the game you get presented with 2 bills to choose from. "Fuck Cancer" is the official name of the bill that cures cancer. The other one ends world hunger and is called "Let Them Eat Cake".

Then would destroying or losing that bill count as counterfeiting?

I would love if we had a president like the guy from Designated Survivor, someone who cared more about doing the best job for the people without his ego being the focus. Which actually might also be true about Comacho

Donald Trump. I can't believe there are people who think he could actually get elected. The American people aren't that stupid.

Cethin@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Normally fiction is based in reality. It'd take some stupid writers to take the host of The Apprentice and make him president. That'd just be silly. What kind of policy would he even have? American voters vote based on policy not personality, so having that is clearly important.

CanadaPlus@futurology.today · 2 pts · 2y

Honestly his personality is even worse. As far as I can tell his main advantage was timing.

Dagwood222@lemm.ee · 14 pts · 2y (1 reply)

True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion. They invited the creators of all the top political TV show; West Wing; Veep; House of Cards; Scandal, and others. Every participant said the same thing; that if they'd had a character say that he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' the networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be kicked to the curb by the whole nation. Trump is stranger than fiction

Roland Crane from Ni no Kuni 2. I didn't played much, but right at the start he got offed by missile and that's the best thing US president ever did.

There's also Cthulhu, though afaik he never gets elected because his slogan "vote for the greater evil" means his followers always vote for republican or democrat instead.
