I’m looking forward to a Trump presidency. When he is President, maybe people will realize the President doesn’t actually have all that much power.
Maybe not that much legislative power--but in this age of sound bites, instagrams, and image, the leader of a country represents the image of that country. Think Abdinajab or Khomeni in Iran. Most Americans who watched the news thought of Iran as they thought of the leaders. Look at North Korea! Does anyone care how "nice" individual citizens are or do we watch only what the leader says.

I can sort of agree with this sentiment: none of the candidates is really likely to accomplish the objectives they're setting out in their campaigns, because all their ideas involve legislation, which isn't the President's job.
But, the "power" that Trump wields is the ability to rally the wackos.
And God knows we have an abundance of wackos. If Trump gets elected, we will see far more terrorism, I believe. People wont mind hating us so much.
