There was a Karl Marx anime, so anime Karl Marx π
Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she'd never stop till it was done.
And she is used to apologizing for idiots so she'd be able to alot in and rebuild international relationships.

Sort of disappointed that I had to scroll this farβ¦
The coyote from Road Runner. He comes up with plans, some simple, some complex, and they always fail to work. Oh waitβ¦

Well. There was a tos cartoon so spock.
Spock would likely make a terrible president, purely because heβd be surrounded by illogical politicians who are constantly trying to backstab him. You need a president who is capable of not only being level-headed, but also capable of playing politics when it matters. The unfortunate truth is that politics often requires playing the long game, instead of simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away.

A lot less evil but the same corruption and ineptitude
And we'd get a Monorail

Hank Hill
I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.
He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.
There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.
Do comic books count? If yes I'd say Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. If no, General Hunter Gathers from Venture Bros or Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Maybe Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.
