Since we have a joke for a president I want to know, what cartoon character would you actually vote for to be President of the US?
I choose Mufasa
Captain planet.
Maybe we'd finally actually do something about climate change and for an extra special bonus we get to see him kick the shit out of the likes of the Koch's and whatever demon spawn runs Nestle.
Side note: mufasa is my namesake! I'm just so super creative and ran it backwards lol
TexasDrunk maybe a hero! Really can't tell unless he's driving near zero!
RE: namesake creativity. Hey, at least you spelled it backwards correctly!
How would this work? What if some of the planeteers rebelled and refused to summon him?
He is summoned after the election results by force of law and then he isn't allowed to disappear until his term is up.
Not summoning a duly elected captain planet is punishable by no less than 6 years arguing against fox news propagandists and a fine of 3,600 dark chocolate bars paid to me personally. The impact of cocoa production on the environment would be an extra screw turn, forcing their hand.
Hermes Conrad. He's got a level head and knows his way around a bureaucracy.
Idk I kinda like being able to take a shit without having to fill out a form every time.
Winnie the Pooh for the irony
You know, cause they keep calling some other head of State that
This will be an interesting meeting.
Keith David's president from Rick and Morty, because of the soothing baritone.
Archer.
Mallory Archer.
Brother she would be perfectly happy with Trump as president as long as that bitch Trudy Beekman lost all of her savings first.
If anyone from the archer cast is president im going Lana > Cyril > Pam > Krieger (The last would ensure our destruction, but we would certainly go out in a memorable way).
Both of the archers are right up there with Cheryl/Carol/Charlene for piss poor candidacy.
I'm going to cheat a little and say Captain Kirk from Star Trek TAS
Janeway from Prodigy. Or maybe somebody from Lower Decks, but I can't decide which.
Out of the big three captains, Janeway would likely make the most capable president. Kirk would constantly be trying to fist fight politicians, Picard would quickly be bored with the day-to-day and would vanish to go work on an archeological site somewhere.
Sisko would throw Mitch McConnell off the roof of the White House, then fall off of it himself.
Nice try big politics! You wont get my opinion!
Joking, I'd vote for the roadrunner.
I'm voting for coyote. His approval rating is catching up to roadrunners, I'm sure of it.
Magneto.
Daria
There was a Karl Marx anime, so anime Karl Marx 👀
Clark Kent.
He always disappears in emergency situations though. Can't rely on the guy.
The Lorax
@Melatonin Since you lot can't be trusted I'm calling in Princess Twilight Sparkle to take you back to a monarchy.
William Murderface
Murderface Murderface Murderface
I want the whole band as president. Joint office shared by five dudes who just want everything to be black and metal all the time.
At least they're open about wanting people to die.
Daria
She would hate that so much
The American people need her
Poison Ivy from Harley Quinn.
Kodos
I voted for Kang!
Sort of disappointed that I had to scroll this far…
Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she'd never stop till it was done.
And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she'd be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.
Bender Bending Rodríguez
He'll have to show us his Earth certificate, though.
Jessica Rabbit.
All those "women can't be president" douchebags would shut the fuck up and start becoming "nice guys" which would be cringy but at least it would get them to stop sabotaging the rest of us.
Oh I can see it now. “I voted for you! Why won’t you return my DMs?!”
The coyote from Road Runner. He comes up with plans, some simple, some complex, and they always fail to work. Oh wait…
squidward tentacles
Wile E. Coyote should be US president
He would just spend all his time pursuing the Roadrunner instead of doing imperialism. He would have all the resources of the military-industrial complex at his disposal to that end, but he would just keep crashing F-35s into cliffs and shit chasing the Roadrunner. And his vice president and cabinet would be no better - all hand-picked cronies from the Acme corporation's revolving door with the government, only there to help President Coyote devise new contraptions to catch the Roadrunner with.
let's be honest, most products from the military industrial complex of the u.s. deserve the "acme" brand.
No, Acme products are cost effective. The US military industrial complex is anything but.
Space Ghost
Space Ghost and Dino Boy Space Ghost or Space Ghost Coast to Coast Space Ghost?
Coast to Coast of course
Space Tree
Hobbes
Nausicaa president
Saitama vice
Well. There was a tos cartoon so spock.
Spock would likely make a terrible president, purely because he’d be surrounded by illogical politicians who are constantly trying to backstab him. You need a president who is capable of not only being level-headed, but also capable of playing politics when it matters. The unfortunate truth is that politics often requires playing the long game, instead of simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away.
Someone even more incompetent so he can destroy the USA quicker but less likely to push the nuke button.
mufasa wasnt born in the US, he cant be president. i say the creepy toon villain from who framed roger rabbit. he's electable.
if i wanted to destroy the u.s., i'd vote for ralph wiggum.
if i wanted someone better than most presidents since lincoln, i'd vote for the lenin mummy from the simpsons.
Hank Hill
I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.
He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.
Lex Luthor.
Sure, he wants to kill Superman, that's not the best political stance, but other than that he'll basically just focus on fixing everything else that slows society down in order to have a society that's better at killing Superman.
Plus it's not like he's successful at killing Superman. So really it's a win-win.
A lot less evil but the same corruption and ineptitude
And we'd get a Monorail
In fairness, he'd vote for me.
My villain choice: Lex Luthor
My hero choice: The Martian Manhunter
Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.
Master Shake jk jk I want meatwad
Shake would be ok, but he'd laser eye the Russians and that would be bad since it would lead to ww3. Meatwad is the best answer.
Jesus of Nazareth
Senator Chris Zaxar Travers.
Wait, who are we voting for?
Who did I say I was gonna vote for?
Why did Trump run uncontested?
There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.
Do comic books count? If yes I'd say Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. If no, General Hunter Gathers from Venture Bros or Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Maybe Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.
Uncle Duke? Man, that's a throwback!
Think I'll go listen to some Captain & Tennille, "Muskrat Love"
Griffith, he is just so charismatic and determined. And those CURLS
Your average Griffith enjoyer
foghorn leghorn for sure
I say, I say boy listen here
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
E: Always forget the diacritical marks
Franziska von Karma. I was going to say Miles Edgeworth, but... let's face it, there are plenty of foolish fools in need of a whipping right now. 😌
(I know she's really a "game character", but she was in the anime, so she still counts. 🧑⚖️)
Dr.Doom. He's got experience and a pretty good track record all things considered.
Professor X. He's already responsible with even more power, and this way people would choose to listen to him.
Yakko from the Animaniacs, though he may be a bit too smart for the job.
Satsuki Kiryuin, fuck it she might get our shit together.
Just for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he'd be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.
Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?
Bill Cipher
King Bob, from Minions. We have to run through the RGB spectrum. Green would be Shrek, blue would be James P Sullivan
Lisa Simpson
Oh, good one!
Bugs Bunny.
Duckman
Bugs Bunny or Yosemite Sam
Magneto
OG Jesse Custer from The Preacher comic series, not the sanitized version from the series.
Uncle Iroh, but post general/fire lord.
I was gonna say, you've got to be real careful about your timeline there
I thought Iroh never held the title of Fire Lord
That is outrageous! It's unfair!
