Rather than continue off-tracking another thread I have started this one for a little project, namely, coming up with 10 reasons a T-800 Terminator would make a better President of the United States than Donald Trump. Or more than 10. We'll sort out the preferred order a bit later, after we get our list written down.

To start, we have:

1) A Terminator will focus on the mission instead of his ego.
2) A Terminator will not require Secret Service protection.
3) A Terminator can be set to learn from experience, Trump is stuck in "read-only" mode.
4) A Terminator has a better hairstyle.
5) There is no record of a Terminator engaging in "pussy-grabbing" or even discussing a desire to "grab pussy", or grab any other form of genitalia.
6) A Terminator has hands big enough to hold a - hey, what were some of those weapons the T-800 hauled around? Big Fucking Guns, .50 caliber, rocket launchers - yeah, hands big enough for those. (Yeah, yeah, I know - Google Is My Friend, sue me, I'm doing an OP here with limited time before I have to go to work)
7) A Terminator harms fewer innocent bystanders.

What else have we got? Help me out here.

8. A Terminator is programmed with extensive knowledge of advanced technology, military tactics, and human anatomy.
9. Terminators possess knowledge of the future which would be strategically useful.
10. Terminators have style.

11. A Terminator cannot be bribed.
12. A Terminator operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
13. All of a Terminator's human tissue is real, including the hair. Said tissue will remain healthier looking than the current president's even after suffering massive trauma.

14. A Terminator is manufactured in America.
15. Having our first Cyber-American President would be good for diversity.

16. When a Terminator speaks, it is usually coherent and on topic.

17. A Terminator would have the most bad ass campaign slogans.

18. A Terminator programmed to follow the US Constitution will not knowingly violate the US Constitution. --> Bonus points over most presidents.

19. When considering military strikes against individuals, a Terminator would always be absolutely certain of the target's identity.

20. Terminators come programmed with detailed files of both biology and psychology, so concepts such as "empathy" will not be beyond it.
21. It is nigh-unkillable, so no need to worry about a potentially idiotic VP taking over.
22. Terminators do not seem to be able to lie.

To start the thread's inevitable decline into arguing about the trivia and specifics of terminator lore:

Ah, bollocks, forgot that one. Ok, strike 22 from the list.

New 22) Terminators do not "walk back" their statements, they say what they mean and mean what they say.

23. While Terminators are willing to die for their mission, they are not deliberately suicidal
24. A Terminator's mere existence would be proof of a major scientific boom, or aid in one.
25. Over its entire lifespan a Terminator will produce less toxic gases than the current president does in an hour.

26. A Terminator has better catchphrases. "Hasta la vista, baby" vs "We're gonna build a wall", for example.

27. A Terminator is aware of its own shortcomings and the need for reliable sources of information to make up for them, and will not surround itself with yes-men and egotistical sophists that say what it likes.

28. Having a Terminator as POTUS would allow Americans to accurately say to literally anyone "holy shit, you guys, our President is a fucking Terminator."

29. A Terminator would understand that nuclear weapons are likely to be a doomsday option.

30) A Terminator will be back. This bodes well for its re-election prospects, an auspicious omen for the first term!

31. A Terminator may lie, but it will admit and inform you when it lied, instead of prescribing to "alternative facts".

32. A Terminator understands the benefits of teamwork and cooperation, having fought in a worldwide war against humanity with millions of other Terminators to reach targets and achieve objectives.

33. A Terminator will read executive orders before signing them.

34. A Terminator has no business holdings, owes no money to any party, and has zero conflicts of interest when pursuing objectives.

35. A Terminator can become a somewhat decent father figure.

36. When a Terminator requests your clothes, you can be assured it's in no way interested in what you've got going on underneath but is purely focused on the mission.

37. Everyone knows a terminator is going to fuck you over, even Trump voters.
Hey, Trump voters think he will make America great again by replacing Obamacare with... something. Trump voters think he will ban Muslims, and then find out their relatives got deported from the executive order.
