Technically speaking, the MCU has had a different canonical U.S. Presidents from Earth-1218 (aka "Reality") at differing points, specifically Matthew Ellis elected during IRON MAN 3 and referenced subsequently (concurrent with Obama IRL, who is also mentioned but only on Netflix)https://twitter.com/woweed1/status/1378415670724005892 …
