Presidents are often better at public-facing PR than governance. Dubya was the folksy guy you wanted to "have a beer with," even when Cheney was actually running things. Obama represented change due to his identity, even when his chief of staff was Rahm Emanuel. Trump is a showman, who excels more at giving circuses than making policy, which falls to Ryan and McConnell. This is the result of the fact that in order to get to the presidency, you have to win an election. But it's also the reason Americans are so frequently disappointed in their presidents.
