    Look, the bar has been set so low that even Idiocracy has a better president.

      He knew things were bad and had the will to see them fixed, despite what the Representative from North Carolina said.

        Also once Camacho found the world’s smartest man, he demanded his help

        As opposed to decrying him as a woke pansy intellectual and deporting him

        Easily one of the best movie speeches of all time. I remember seeing it in a theater in NYC when it was first released, and the entire auditorium went apeshit.

          Also kinda wild that USA wants to share something with the world, as close to it as 4th of July.

          What would the equivalent speech be today?

      he was a good man - but he gave up the presidency temporarily after lying about having MS, frequently engaged in black ops in other countries, shut down the government like Trump, and knowingly employed an alcoholic who was constantly relapsing during the campaign trail as his chief of staff. Also his communications director leaked military secrets, his press secretary was in a suspicious relationship with a journalist, his wife committed medical fraud and due to knock on affects of his security protocol he and his speech writer are shot, he and his senior staff are exposed to a potential chemical weapon and quarantined, several secret service agents are killed during active service protecting the first family, and during some of these killings his daughter is kidnapped.

      His administration was a mess lol
