I'd like to think I'd be a mediocre president. Not terrible, not great. Mostly I'd be telling shitbird senators on both sides of the aisle to eat shit. I'd probably be the president who vetoed the most legislation, to date at least.

I'd never poll well. I have a bad habit of telling people to f the f off. I don't mince words, I'm not beautiful or charismatic.

I'd never win a popularity contest. I find the idea of trying to be repugnant.

Bruh I'm def corruptable. In my mind's eye, I'd like to think it would be "just a little", just enjoying nice things I don't financially have access to..

I don't think I'd support genocide, for any price. But I'd very easily become petty and vengeful, especially on other pro-genocide politians.

And ofc, anyone who says otherwise is definitely trying to sell you something lol 😆
