president busybody
Before Donald Trump started making headlines that involved serious issues,
I would have said that the possibility of Donald Trump becoming POTUS,
was about equal of busybody's chances at becoming POTUS.
Now, I am questioning the sanity of Americans who are placing signs
that say "Make America Great Again," in the windows of businesses.
Universe, of all Universes! They might as well write in busybody, to become President!
yikes!
I was born in 1954. I have seen people become so exasperated with our American voting system, that they threw their votes away with a joke write in.

I loved the Pogo cartoon strip in the newspaper, when I was a child.
Pogo the Possum, for President ?
Walt Kelly started publishing the Pogo comic strip in 1949, detailing the life of a possum who was a resident of the Okefenokee Swamp. In 1952, during the "I Like Ike" campaign, Kelly announced that Pogo was running for President.
Pogo was a reluctant candidate. "I'm not a president," he said, "I'm just a possum who likes to fish." His platform was also very simple. He stated a preference for "a regular old-fashioned flat-bottomed type platform for use at land or sea." Nevertheless, his candidacy turned out to be wildly popular.
Millions of "I Go Pogo" campaign buttons were sold. NBC promised complete coverage of the Pogo Party bid. Kelly noted, "We hope to lull the regular parties into a false sense of security by our reported attempts to clarify the issues. Once they have laughed us off, then we will strike."
The most memorable moment of the campaign came when 1600 students gathered at Harvard Square for a Pogo for President rally. The meeting grew so out of control that it escalated into a riot, and 28 Harvard students were arrested. Near-riots happened at other campuses. For instance, at Williams College students marched around town for an hour, halting traffic, chanting "We Go Pogo.

Wiki has pages of hoax candidates for President,
and a page full of animals that were written in.
