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

[–] Helix@feddit.de 51 points 1 year ago

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

"I was elected to lead, not to read."

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

The line is from the movie, so they break a few of their usual rules.

He can still win! Just a few more donations is all it takes.

President Lindberg (Tiny Lister from The Fifth Element). Ok, maybe he was the whole worlds president, but he was so cool.

President Lisa Simpson

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The Fifth Element’s president.

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! πŸ‘

Tiny Lister!, aka Deebo from Friday. RIP.

I mean, Bartlett, but also James Marshall (Harrison Ford - Air Force One) and Thomas Whitmore (Bill Pullman - ID4).

President Palmer from 24 was pretty good, better than most of the people around him.

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.

Donald Trump

Oh, wait. He wasn't fictional...

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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
