America Is Being Run by Zaphod Beeblebrox https://share.google/NFDknyfqnEh5C7d1D

“Adventurer, ex-hippie, good-timer, (crook? quite possibly), manic self-publicist, terribly bad at personal relationships, often thought to be completely out to lunch.” He is a jerk to Arthur Dent, a terrible partner to his girlfriend Trillian, and relentlessly self-obsessed. He’s also president of the galaxy.
