Think what it implies when you say that a country needs leaders. In your day-to-day life, you interact with all sorts of other individuals. And that's all society is: the collective name for lots of INDIVIDUALS. But for some inexplicable reason, we're taught to believe that one huge, arbitrarily chosen assortment of individuals (the "citizens" of one human livestock farm--I mean, "country") need some control freaks acting as intermediaries in order to interact with a different arbitrarily chosen assortment of individuals (the "citizens" of some other human livestock farm--I mean, "country"). Because gee, how could I and some random person in the middle of China possibly leave each other alone if we didn't each have a gang of narcissistic sociopaths claiming to "represent" us? Oh, wait a minute. That's exactly how and why pretty much ALL wars happen: because different gangs of power-happy psychos pit their pawns against each other in violent conflict, while claiming to "represent" subsets of humanity. One more example of how "government" is a problem posing as its own solution.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

I admire your chivalrous nature, sir, however delusional it may be in this particularly quixotic instance.

Oh, I am but a mere Maiden. Spinster if you will.

Fortunately I’m adept on horseback and well equipped for a joust or two tout seul

"I'm for us. I'm for us. You know how to spell us, right. You spell us U S. I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that beef. I just picked that up.
Couple of days I'm reading and it said us. And I said 'you know, if you think about it, us equals U S'. Is, isn't that. Now if we say something genius they'll never say it, yed."
