#7 Playing the odds.

Presidents nearly always get reelected. Even W and Obama each got two terms and both will probably be in the bottom ten when the history books are finally written by an unbiased generation.

#8 Isn't this the plot of one or more Phillip K. Dick stories? Dangerous madman is elected President; guy from future travels back in time to warn about fill-in-the-blank but can't convince anyone he is really a time traveler. Never mind the lie detector. We should administer a Voight-Kampff test, just to be sure...

#9 Nah, just retire him. It's the only way to be sure.

#10 His 2030 "time traveler" self can presumably remember where he was "back" in 2018 - so have him arrange to bring in his 2018 "original" self - and let the two have a chat,and compare notes - on-screen. Hah!
