A foreign leader as US President

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

Tabare Vazquez? Rafael Correa? Matteo Renzi? Evo Morales? Answer may change depending on elections in Portugal, Canada, Taiwan, Korea, Spain etc. in the near future.


Obviously the question is completely meaningless though as all politicians are products of their surroundings. All the politicians mentioned are impossible to imagine in a U.S. context in anything remotely like their current incantations.

My boy Tony Abbott obviously.

Unfortunately, I don't think bringing the State's under the domain of the Crown will be particularly popular.

Pope Francis

(someone had to say it )

RIP abortion

What did we do to you?

Testament to the lousiness of most world leaders. Morales is very flawed, but fairly popular and seems to be capable (despite his annoying tendencies). Also him in control of the pentagon would be amusing.

Unfortunately King Adulyadej would die and leave you with his idiot son pretty quick. If you're going to get a monarch, go with King Wangchuck of Bhutan

Putin, because despite his lack of respect for free speech he would restore our national sovereignty and end our interference in other's affairs.

Are you kidding? Maduro is a fool and an oaf.

Merkel is a good choice, primarily because she is so aimless and poll-driven she could immediately adapt to American norms with no difficulty.

I should emphasise I don't particularly like Correa/Chavez/Morales - I find them populist and somewhat authoritarian - but I find it hard to deny they have left their countries in a better state than when they came to power (unlike, say, Maduro/Ortega/Kirchner). I will give the same credit to a few rightists (although precious few) - Sirleaf, maybe even begrudgingly Key and possibly even the DA if they ever take South Africa. I like a few floppy centrists like Benigno Aquino III and (maybe with future judgement) Joko Widodo. However too many contempary rightists are sticks in the mud (Harper), laughably incompetent wrecks (Abbott) or slimy opportunists (Merkel).

* seriously, Abbott is a moron. I find the prospect of a POTUS Harper terrifying, but a POTUS Abbott would kill conservatism for generations.

Well many reasons, but perhaps most disturbing is he is very good as what he does. I cannot deny the man is (and I use this phrase in as neutral a sense as I can) a very capable politician.
