Q:
The president subscribes to this “madman theory” that if he makes a lot of unsettling, off-putting comments that sort of throw people off,, that he likes to keep his adversaries guessing ne anlama geliyor?
A:
1) “subscribe to” means something different than it normally does in this context. If you “subscribe to” a theory or a method of doing things, it just means you do that method or believe that theory. For example, you can say “I subscribe to the theory that hard work should be rewarded”, and that will mean you believe that hard work should be rewarded.
In this context it means that the president believes in the “madman theory” that is described later in the sentence.
2) “off-putting” is another word for “unsettling”. I can’t think of a difference.
3) “throw people off” means to confuse, interrupt, distract, or to mislead people. It basically means that you’re making it hard for someone else to understand something. For example, if you were giving a presentation and then someone shouted to interrupt you, then you’d be “thrown off” by that interruption.
Does that help?

Synonyms of "President" and their differences
Q:
speak directly to the president ve talk directly to the president arasındaki fark nedir?
A:
“speak” is used in more formal contexts. Since you mentioned “president”, “speak” sounds like the more appropriate, formal choice of word.
In most other contexts, the differences between “speak” and “talk” are quite minor.
“I spoke to Tom.” It implies you said something to Tom, but Tom did not necessarily say anything.
“I talked to Tom.” It implies you maybe had a conversation with Tom, meaning Tom also said something to you.
Basically, “speak” tends to be one-sided, while “talk” implies a conversation between one or more people.

=third last president?
그 앞앞앞의 차
= the car after 3 cars ahead of us?

A:
I don’t think that third to last president would make sense to an American - they might understand the general sense of what you’re trying to say (the president that is numerically the 3rd one prior to the current one ) but the term “last president” would make the listener think of the previous president, not the current one.

Q:
"Good or bad of a president? I'm in no position to judge. But Obama's personality is definitely one of a kind." bu doğru görünüyor mu?
A:
If you're trying to give your verbal opinion after briefly restating the question this would sound more natural: "...Good or bad president? I'm in no position to judge, but Obama's personality is definitely one of a kind." But in writing you want all of the sentences to be complete so for an essay you would say "Is he a good or bad president? ...(the rest of the comment)"
