You should read Cicero on that. He had some things to say about viewing politicians as a class that make actual sense.
You need a class of people who are talented at doing what those people do. If you think something is wrong with the pool of people available, then the question should probably be something more like, what is causing the shortage of supply that we don't have better people offering to lead us?
If you get right down to it, I think you will find that we love judging each other. In the same way that society cannot seem to find a definition for success, especially lucky success, that doesn't include a trial on reality TV, they can't decide how to categorize politicians.
Right now, society wants to categorize them according to impossibly high moral standards, such that no good person, the likes of whom your comments actually suggest you wish were involved in government, would want to run for office. They don't want their personal lives exposed, no matter how narcissistic they are.
They know they can't hide their incongruities. The standards are too high! Even Trump won't show his taxes. He's afraid he isn't actually rich enough for society to engage in the sort of self-deception they need to keep engaging in, in order to keep someone like him in power. Society actually wants Elon Musk type wealth. Trumps falls far short, but he can fake it until he makes it. He can come off, while being poor, as seeming richer than he is. He can't buy Twitter, but he can seem as frugal, in his relative poverty, as the guy who can. It's all marketing.
You've just memorized their talking points, style of conversation, developed their selective memory patterns...perhaps you mean, you just don't have one of those hats?
