because what makes a good president of the united states is a lack of education coupled with a steaming pile of good ole class resentment served up petit-bourgeois victim style, preferably with american flags and vague bromides a plenty. that way the evil others can persecute the heroic but not real bright president and attention can be directed to that while the american system tanks altogether.
but what matters is that the reality-optional conservative set have an empty suit they can admire on the way down. that's key.

but what really matters is that the system tank in a regulatory environment that allows the people who bought and paid for the reality-optional sets astroturf political feel-good movement are not required to give up any of their shit.

so when the new feudalism comes and members of the reality-optional conservative set returns to their usual existential position as serf, they'll have idiot conservative lords they admire and memories of flags and bromides aplenty.

because that's what really matters. no competence, not knowledge, not ability. what matters is that the eternal victims have an Empty and Not-Real-Bright Leader that's just like they imagine themselves to be. someone they can look up to. someone they admire.

that's key.
