I feel confident that I would not be the worst president.
It’s well outside my area of competence, but I would be earnest and hardworking and willing to defer decisions to people who know what they’re doing.
Hell no. I know my limitations, I would make a terrible president.
Better than Trump. I think I’d be smart enough to rely on my cabinet for all the important decisions.
I’m not sure I’d have a high approval rating though. I’m a poor liar and pretty far right of center.
I’d get a lot of stuff done.
It’s past time to redo the Rose Garden for more practical and environmentally friendly purposes. Don’t bother me with trifles like pandemics and Taiwan invasion threats, I’ll be out tending the fig trees and dividing perennials.
I’d delegate wisely and not try to overburden myself either through arrogance of thinking I alone can take care of everything nor making too many promises that just isn’t possible to achieve on but would be an albatross around my neck for saying it.
I would try and do my own press conferences where possible to provide the public full length details and probably use the bully pulpit to hammer the importance of a legislative idea so the people have the choice to push their representatives rather than me having to backslap and be transactional.
I would try and avoid a lot of the ceremonial stuff where possible.
I’d be regarded as adorably well-intentioned but totally ineffectual. I’d be absolutely no match for the likes of McTurtle. In fact, my childlike political naivety would become the stuff of legend! 
That sounds more like the actions of a dictator than a president.
I would have 2 problems, I don’t do public speaking and I can be really lazy at times.
In years past I have made the jokey answer of: “Graft on a massive scale!” Weirdly, that just doesn’t seem all that funny anymore. Fucking real life, screwing up my fun 
.
In reality you really couldn’t pay me enough to take the job. I like my modest anonymity and the privilege of not having to take my job home with me, thankyouverymuch. Being a “celebrity” with that kind of responsibility would be my idea of hell.
Hmmmmm…I’m basically an introvert and not a networker, but I’m pretty good at speaking in public. I’m kinda lazy, but also productive due to the efficiency of “give a lazy man a job to do and he will find the most direct way to do it.” I don’t suffer fools, and like to pop off on stuff on occasion, so I would probably be seen as putting my foot in my mouth, and making enemies. I would probably fall victim to using my power to screw around with attractive younger people, and get into trouble for that. I suffer from a short fuse on getting consensus because, “Geez, isn’t it OBVIOUS?!?” Deep down I’m a strong anti-capitalist progressive, which would be a hard sell, politically.
So, I don’t think I would be very good at it.
I’m afraid I’d be the Third Assistant Phaser Polisher (Trainee). But I think I’d do a much better job than a certain recent occupant of the position. Hire good people, listen to them, then get out of their way and let them do things.
I certainly believe my principles would lead to a successful Presidency. However, my lack of charisma, social skills, negotiation expertise, and general laziness would interfere with actually getting shit done. I would delegate well, but I’d need to bone up on some important complicated info before I’d get even halfway there, and I don’t know if I’d have the energy for that.
Probably worse than Trump. And I would have quit sooner. It’s not my nature, to accept power just so I can abuse it and lord it over people.
The sad truth is, when I’m not playing Forge of Empires, I’m skiing or drinking. And I won’t cut my hair. Or fly on AF1. And I gotta take the dogs out for a daily Jeep ride, so that gonna limit high-level Summits, unless these guys/gals wanna ride along. And then there’s all that other stuff to contend with.
I’d make Trump look like Grant, and Clinton comparable to The Pope.
Yeah? I’m El Presidente now. Suck it up, pay your taxes, stop the graft, look after people and the planet.
Got a problem…take it up with my people! 
Can I be one of your people?
I played Balance of Power back in the day; at the end of one game I somehow had China leaning left!
What you said.
While I’ve often said I’d make a terrible mod (very true and not surprising to anyone who has read a few of my posts), I’m pretty sure I’d be a good president. My approach would be a slight alteration of the @silenus (who would probably be better than they expect) approach:
Hire good people, keep them constantly challenged and interested, listen to them, give them full credit for their accomplishments publicly, ensure that they learn from their failures privately, then get out of their way and let them do things.
The important part of your job is to pick the right people and then support them. As for the folks in this thread that think social awkwardness will keep them from being a good president, I don’t really share that awkwardness, but I disagree with you. It will be hard to get you elected, but you’d probably be fine presidents. Angela Merkel doesn’t care if you’re socially awkward. She cares if you’re an idiot.
Maybe social akwardness doesn’t matter so much when talking to other world leaders. I suppose the language and cultural barrier masks it a bit in some cases.
But what about the pressure and anxiety. What if a major world power goes to war. Everyone in your staff is telling you something different and you have to make a decision.
It’s not just major things such as war, it’s everyday. Obama talked about the getting tired of needing to make decisions and decisions and decisions.
People talk about how easy it would be to simply hire good people and get of the way, but having to deal with all the egos is not trivial.
