Trump is terrifying because he is showing everyone that the highest elected official in the most powerful country on Earth has no power. But then, who's really controlling things? I mean, the President doesn't autocratically control the government anyways, but the President is supposed to control the executive branch for "balance of powers". If he has no say, then that can't be how things are working, at all, and that raises the question of how things are really working. Trump's presidency isn't some comic relief to having some shady figure like Hillary Clinton or Mike Pence in control. It's a mockery by whoever is really running things (which has to be corporations).
