Presidents have never been the smartest people in the country, some may have thought it but actually were... doubtful. We have had a few major exceptions where we did end up with someone very smart. It just has never been the norm for us and I can not think it applies to other leaders either in other countries.
Presidents come from politicians who can lead and inspire their base, that is all. Well that and they need to be ego maniacs.
