Again, your’s is not the choice you posed. If it’s a U.S. president-—ANY U.S. president-—or someone out to destroy the U.S. through leaks, I’d take the U.S. president. ANY U.S. president.
Well there's where we differ, I guess. I think ANY US president should be constrained to the powers allowed by the Constitution, and you seem to think any president ought to be able to have people killed without even the formality of a trial.
