Because good people - the people who would make the best leaders, aren’t narcissistic enough to believe they should run for president. They’re happy helping in whatever way they can, but they generally don’t have the audacity to think they have any business trying to run for the most powerful position in government. Partially because they’re humble, but also they aren’t in it for power, they just want to help people.
There’s definitely a conversation to be had that the role of president should be one of humility and neighborliness, but there’s a group of voters in America who just want somebody who can throw their dick around on the world stage and intimidate the rest of the world like a pro wrestler. And most politician types try to be both the helpful neighbor and pro wrestler, but end up seeming fake and not very genuine because usually both the macho and the neighborly aspects are an act, and they just want power.
