Being president is such a thankless job. Despite all of the money I'd get paid for it, I doubt I could last even one month without losing my sanity, considering all the racism, the misinformation, and conspiracy theories from RW media and the obstruction coming from elected Republicans.
I'm much happier being an armchair president.
