There are so many contradictions in that reply.

Itachi not having feats of Kage level? Then how the frick was he capable of butchering his entire clan? How come he entered the ANBU Black Ops, the best of the best, the elite of the elite, at the age of eleven? How come he had the wisdom of a Hokage at the age of seven? Sorry, but that argument is empty.

Jiraiya? He'd refuse the position. Danzo? Worst candidate for Hokage ever. I'd choose Orochimaru over him. Tsunade? Wasn't at the village, and still would've refused. Fugaku? Not only is he a bad choice for Hokage, but he also isn't Kage strong. Unsuitable. Kakashi? He wasn't at the level of becoming Hokage yet. So basically, Itachi is the best candidate, period.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Supreme Shinobi, The Professor, being under control of a genjutsu from a clan he's had decades of observing? Those who can testify to Hiruzen's prowess will deny the possibility of him being under any sort of genjutsu. Not only is it impossible to happen in the first place, but even if he got into a genjutsu, he'd still manage to break free from it.

The only way to stop the revolution from happening would be to either sate the Uchiha clan or eradicate them. Sating them would include making Itachi the Fifth Hokage. And the same can be said about Itachi, because even without his Mangekyo Sharingan, he's still a force to be reckoned with.
