Is it hard to make decisions as president? Not really. If you know what you believe, decisions come pretty easy. If you’re one of these types of people that are always trying to figure out which way the wind is blowing, decision making can be difficult.
And if you’re one of those types of people that are always trying to figure out what region of the multiverse they’re in, or how many identical copies of them have been created by an intergalactic superintelligent trickster, or what anthropic reference class they’re in, or whether they’re living in a computer simulation, or how their choices will impact maybe-logically-impossible counterfactual worlds — you know, one of those people — decision making can be really difficult. ;)

The notion of being one of those people who tries to figure out what reference class they are in is causing me to giggle uncontrollably right now.
I am so proud to be part of a community where that can happen.
