7. Stephen Colbert
If you haven’t at one point in your life ever considered the fact that Stephen Colbert should run for president, you must be living under an enormous rock. Most of his career is based off of making politics laugh at itself, so what could possibly go wrong if he were actually the man in power?
I’ll tell you what will happen: the entire infrastructure that holds politics together will collapse entirely and we will be witness to a new world order. One where the most serious of topics are taken with a sarcastic tone, and people will be called out for being stupid. There’s too many people being uptight and serious about the world.
It’s the same reason people look to comedy to bring light to a dark situation. Can you imagine how trade deals would be dealt? Just make a sarcastic joke or remark, and suddenly our allies are laughing with us, instead of at us.
