Even Nixon’s head as President of Earth ran a weirdly benign and relatively competent administration as President of Earth. Yes, because Futurama is a comedy, but with all of these fictional Presidents, I think many Americans have (or hopefully had) little concept of just how much of our stability and prosperity actually was due to the government. Fictional accounts of how badly a President can fuck the U.S. just wouldn’t’ve landed as plausible with a general audience.
Man, I wish we could elect Lex. He was a full-on criminal, but he took care of what was his. I would disagree with his stance on aliens, but I bet he would give us healthcare on a whim.
I’ve been reading political novels since about 6th Grade.
There’s never been a fictional US President as bad as the reality of Trump. And I include Lex Luthor from the Superman comics.

Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.

Are Superman comics considered political novels?
There was that Slim Nietzsche guy though.
