Shame he never became president, but I guess what made him such a good leader is the fact that he didn't really want to rule in the first place.

MacArthur desperately and openly wanted to rule. He never hid this desire...

He was never president because he was despised by virtually all of his peers and superiors. He did whatever he wanted when he wanted when he thought he had the power to do so.

He ran for president and was never even considered, and he lost most of the good will he had with the country when details about Korean came out.
