Does Trump highlight how little power the leader of the free world has?

I assumed the president had 100% of the answers (secrets and inside knowledge) When trump accused wire tapping, I figured since he is the president he would 100% know that was fact if so.. now I'm wondering about Trump, Obama, Bush etc.. are they even in the know? Seems like maybe not? If not that's ridiculous

Uh...Prez has always sort of been a puppet.

I think why Trump is rankling everyone in power is because he isn't just going along...he has money.

We forget that so many Presidents are whores in office because they get paid shite and are totally rich-poor and they want to be rich-rich *(see the Clintons).

It's endless money-raising for private benefit. And so everyone sells out to have a nice retirement.

I mean...Obama was the perfect example. Total puppet after that unity "change" mantra.

There are about ten or twelve levels of security clearances above the potus. It's a bullshat myth that the potus is "the most powerful man in the world".

He has the power of a bully pulpit and he uses it to perfection.

He is how we find out.


Unelected Letter Network CEOs
vs
President of the United States of America


The problem is it's hard to really tell who's winning when the letter network CEOs are also the referees and scoreboard operator

We'll find out in 2018 and 2020 when the actual scorecard is released

I mean I can understand keeping certain special projects compartmentalized among different individuals.

But you think there are really people with the broader overall picture, or ability to project more force at once than the president?

I think he is aware of all programs, and the capabilities of all his assets.

I imagine there is some oversight/approval process for certain information. Especially within the intelligence community
