had a stray thought when i was drifting off a, perhaps the, core public role of a president is to appear and give speeches to coordinate national behavior we are now in our second presidency where the president is not good at his job and i suspect this is probably fairly bad

well it seems pretty basic — even if in a mostly unconscious way! — as a qualification for the job. Isn’t this pretty much precisely what “presidential” means, in the media sense? So it seems like people must be voting to elect something else now, with no regard for the job.
