John Oliver (or alternatively other talkshow hosts like John Steward, Stephen Colbert, or Conan) could be another interesting choice.

I'd assume he is probably more intelligent than me and has already spent a lot of time presenting problems and thinking about solutions. He'd also have the right energy to get things done.

That said, I think without changes to the capabilities of the office, I actually don't think they'd get that much done. Despite what it sometimes may look like, Trump can only do most of the things because others support it. This isn't a one man show.

They also come with a competent team that is already working on politics.
