It's not because you are good at maths that you are good at politics. And he's the best example about that we've had so far.

If politics works like it is said in "The Prince" (ie. Machiavelli), then I do not see any easily transferable skill set from renowned mathematician to politician.

Except for game theory maybe?

Yeah, agreed. And he proved he's a shitty politician. (with shitty ideas too, but that's my point of view)
