      The best you can get out of an American president is a 300 page biography that was ghost written.

      No western politician seems interested in writing anything outside of petty bickering and short comments on the topic de jour of the news cycle. There seems to be an active disinterest in formulating any kind of abstract theoretical thought.

        Umm excuse me, Barack Obama had extensive theories on lying to college girls about political theory you've read to get them to sleep with you.

            I feel like I shouldn’t laugh, because when I actually think about it its really fucking gross sex pest behavior, but it’s so fucking dumb that it’s hilarious

        This is not an era of great figures of state developing new theories of governance. All the US government produces are new ridiculously specialized grifts.

      And the first 5 chapters detail how they used to wipe their ass as a kid or their favorite diner in Small Town, USA to make it seem relatable to the working Joe. Then chapters 6-10 is about the meritocracy of graduating from Yale and landing a job at Daddy’s Consulting Firm

      As horrific as its consequences were, when Putin wrote that essay about the ethnic and political history of Ukraine and Russia, I was like, "damn, could you imagine Joe Biden writing something like this?"

      That's because American presidents' political views can sufficiently be summarized with "Number go up"
