I could go for a non-politician, but one with a strong military background. The nation needs an Eisenhower or a Patton.
Generals? Oh my goodness. There is not a General in any of the services that is not a PC Hack. Well, maybe a few.
But the Eisenhowers of today are majors and Lt Cols who are in the backgrounds or sitting in the chairs against the walls. Remember, Ike was a Major as the war broke out.
No, we are stuck with the media darlings and our versions of MacArthur (Trump) for a while.
When the whole thing falls apart, maybe one of the colonels running the Junta will step up and be a man.
Won't be any of those coming along unless we somehow manage to -win- a war, something we have not done for about seventy years now.
