The president was asked whether he thought another Democrat could defeat former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner in the 2024 election.
“I guess what I’m saying is that, while your concern is of course valid, it feels different because we tend to see the president as someone with more of a job than, say, a senior software engineer. Okay, that’s fair in a very real sense. But I think that it’s different between the president and a prime minister, and that’s where it gets interesting. I think there’s an idealization of the role of president. And, bizarrely, that’s one reason Trump was so wrong but so beloved by so many.”
This is what I responded to. This is what you said. You made a bizarre comment about a PM with no context, and I’m a walnut because I didn’t follow your insane logic without context?
You provided nothing to suggest you thought having a PM would be useful and I’m sure what you say is a huge push is nearly nonexistent. The most public article cited on that wiki page was from years ago in The Atlantic. I’m sure it has some merit, but the huge push is just a fantasy.
