Don't be blind.... Every President gets more money for rich people in some way or another. Some just also try to help the little man sometimes.

All presidents kinda suck....you can't get to that level of power without some compromise of character

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarise: it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

If you look up the CPG grey video "rules for rulers" it logically explains exactly why that's necessary for anyone vying for the job. It's a necessary part of the current structure of mass governance unfortunately.
