If you become president, you’re guaranteed to develop some nervous habit.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that if you become the president, you will probably start doing something repeatedly, like biting your nails or tapping your fingers, because the job is so stressful. The pressure of being the leader of a country can make people develop habits they do not even notice, like fidgeting or playing with their hair. The quote humorously points out that the responsibility of being the president can make even the most calm and collected person develop a nervous habit.
