is because he is following the directions of many someones that are a lot more knowledgeable about government than he, and those that he surrounds himself with. The idea that Donald waltzed into D.C. and toppled Democracy can't possibly be the truth. We were well on our way. He leaves office and what happens? Money still owns us, just more overtly. Whoever replaces can't possibly be as brash and egotistical, but hey...Hollywood has plenty of assholes to choose from.
