Presidents Are Just Figureheads

[Captdon]

Trump is the proof. He's President and can't get much done. He's not one of the insiders. He's a threat to both parties. He's a threat to any lobbyist.No one will allow him to change how our government really works.

I'm sure the TDS folks will jump on this but I'll stand on it.

Mostly true. Some don't follow the script and meet an unfortunate end, like Kennedy. Trump, I can't get a read on at this point. He seems somewhere in the middle.

I agree there is some truth to this. I simply can't get by what a bozo Trump is. We need a chimera of something like Bernie and Trump, a disrupter who is isn't crazy at the same time.

I think they have to know that before they run. They can't be that naive. Wouldn't it be wonderful if a president won the election and then exposed them? Told the American people in no uncertain terms the depth of the treason? Tell Americans of all races and religions and political perspective how they have been used and divided one against the other to further the conspiracy?

They could even uncover UFO secrets.

A US president is not simply a figure head. They set the course of government. They promote a particular set of policy or legislative ideas. They can increase of decrease various regulations which impact everyone based on their own power. They represent the nation on issues of foreign policy. They are the Commander in Chief of the military. Those aren't the functions of a figure head.

He hasn't had the legislative impact, but he's certainly reversed a lot of horrible regulations imposed by his predecessor. Plus he's had a big impact upon the federal judiciary.

I agree US President is not just figure head and he can recommend many things that you say. but in order to do this, he must have approval of Congress. The Parliament system he need only the approval of majority of his political party
