As a president how would you encourage ordinary citizens to help with the war effort?

Propaganda. Lots of propaganda.

Explanation:

I would use posters to emphasize the threat that we are facing, which would increase the fear of the people and motivate them to help. I would also emphasize the importance of ordinary citizens like them so that they feel important and valued, which will also motivate them to work. I would also deliver speeches, praising the common man and rallying them all together against our shared enemy.
