What is the Perfect American President?

In the area of politics on SW there's a constant back and forth about Trump, and of late Obama; their differences, etc, their styles too, even their wives and to some degree, their families. Whether you like Obama, Trump or any of the current Democratic contenders vying for the Presidency they need to be looked at this way: because they're what we all are-human, they are subject to faults, failures and disappointment for themselves and those who both voted and did not vote for them. The reality is whoever gets in come 2020, little will change. That's the nature of the world of politics and those who are in that game. There never was, is not now and never will be a "perfect U.S. President"

While I agree with you very much that there will never be a perfect president, I disagree that little will change if a Democrat is elected. There will be profound changes on environmental, health and safety, immigration, climate change, LGBTQ rights, gun control, and other issues. Many if not most of his executive orders will be nullified. And no matter who gets in on the Democratic side, there will be a massive shift away from deliberate divisiveness, lying, and self-serving policies. The White House will function like a White House again, not a roller coaster of temporary appointees who haven't gone through Senate approval.
