Yes ElMo. I thought I stated one per user, which isn't. I got many things around my head since a few weeks, so I didn't remember properly. I will add W, too.

Despite this, I think the character portayals of Sam Rockwell are widely underrated. I think he is a real burner. I love Sam's work. And yes - Josh Brolin is near to him. I specially did like his role in 'Now Way Out'.

Vice is better, if you want to keep it at one.
If other user wants them you can change and I can vote for Carmelo Vargas, in Mexican film La dictadura perfecta. Is a satire about the crooked ways our former President Enrique Peña Nieto won the presidency. The film spends all the time with the campaign but (not really a spoiler) he wins the election at the end.

Rule-extension: If the movie is a strict biography or drama, no basically parody or satire, but contains funny scenes that reveal the dumbness of the leader, I let it count. Please describe it a little bit, for the case I don't know the movie. Thank you, guys. :D What's on the list is on the list and needs no further description. :D

There are a few scenes in Watchmen (2009) featuring Nixon (who is on his 5th term in this dystopian alternate reality.)
He is portrayed as quite dumb and foolish.
However I'm not sure the suggestion meets your criteria; the character only has a few minutes of screen time (probably under 5) in the entire film.
