How do we get this man to be the next president? He's always so calm, collected, and factual. He architected a soft landing and has been killing it since taking office.

"There was covid, then high inflation, then soft landing, then this."

i'm pretty sure I remember Obama himself acknowledging something that wasn't that far from this, to the effect that you needed to be at least a little narcissistic to pursue this job if you're ever gonna have a chance at getting it.
