Had very unpopular position of feeling sorry for him being married to Diana when you were supposed to pity her for being stuck with him.

But, I digress.Idea that president will have a spouse who is also free, capable & willing to give up their life for a public role is odd

If the ideal president has a husband or wife w/ successful career of their own & no interest in a public political role, is this a problem?

Wld it be 'look, I know you're an eminent neuroscientist but ur wife/husband is president so put it away, look pretty, say inspiring things?

This is likely resolved early with career politicians. For Trump, he must have been supported by his family. Bizarre if not

As US politicians seem to come from dynasties, would expect nuances of a political career (& suitable partners) to be well known

You're missing the point. I'm asking why this is necessary. Why the president is not enough. Why does spouse have to be involved

Not how easy it is to make sure you marry a person suitable for the job of FLOTUS but why you'd have to & what if you didn't?
