1) Not really, no. The president's power is largely overstated in order to give the appearance of authority to a population that self-regulates out of fear.
2) Even were he the most powerful person on the planet, this does not refute the claim that he is a "fucking retard." Forrest Gump, you will recall, met the president and coined the phrase "Shit Happens," but was certainly not a cognizant force of agency in his success. Trump's intellectual acumen may be exactly self-aware enough to desire power, but not to the degree that he can perceive when he is being manipulated into power by forces greater than him.
3) To your credit, however, it does not follow that we can accurately gauge his intelligence from simply observing his tweets. One would have to explore the degree to which he has proven himself incapable of managing a casino, participated in exchanges that make him look like a callous psychopath whose narcissistic delight over his own inherited wealth and power causes him so much naked glee that he is willing to sell out any sense of decency or human regard to perpetuate it, and hired people to write books for him whose subjects were his alleged capacity to negotiate business deals (despite his many bankruptcies) in order to draw conclusions about that - and there exists the non-zero probability that he has fabricated his lifetime of Midas-like buffoonery in order to create a false sense of utter daftness, so even then we can't be one hundred percent certain.

1) The average American makes well over one million dollars throughout their lifetime.
2) A million dollars isn't actually that much money, because the cost of living has increased over 300% over the past three decades while the average working wage has gone up one tenth that rate.

Also he brings up his few failures as a sign of him being dumb (all rich/smart people fail multiple times, you would know if you knew anyone successful) yet says his successes were not because he was smart but because he hired the right people... think about that one for a few seconds.

You really think that having money means that you're successful, don't you? And there's a big difference between "daft" and "dumb." And I left open the possibility that he could just be crazy like a fox, so there's that. You are right about rich and smart people failing multiple times, though. It's just a lot easier to bounce back from multiple bankruptcies when you've inherited a shit-ton of cash from your dad, you know? Or when you've become so famous for being gaudy and over the top that you can sell your identity to a reality television producer who casts you specifically because you're a well-known asshole. That helps too, I guess. You know what, anon? You're actually succeeding in making me feel bad for the guy...

Why do you assume he doesn't like being him?
He is rich, his children are successful, he gets to speak to a large audience that put him on a pedestal (god emporer etc) and gets to put his ideas into practice for the nation (in so far as presidents can do so).
He seems like a fulfilled man, why do you think he is suffering?

Hillary, quite literally the definition of the establishment, career political, lost to a political outsider who was subject to numerous scandals and controversies, because she was so corrupt. You don't know anything if you think Hillary was capable. You only thought that because the media told you to and that's what she wanted to project. But in her own words, Hillary has a "public and private persona". She lies to the public. Reportedly she flipped out after the third debate and became angry and violent, which to me doesn't seem like "smart, capable" behavior.

I mean, that's part of it I guess, and I'm fairly sure either Bernie or Biden would've won that election hands-down, but it's more complex than the public's perception of just one candidate.

I know all this, chief, but that doesn't make Trump a genius, or a good candidate.
Read some of the character profiles written on him over the years, the accounts of people who knew him, or even just listen to the guy talk, and it's clear that he's insecure and desperate to please in a way that you simply cannot be if you want to run a country successfully.
Dismiss it all as an establishment conspiracy if you like, say I need to stop watching CNN or whatever, but if you try to look at this impartially, he was a bad candidate, and he'll be a bad president.

Nope. In Assange's words:
>In Russia, there are many vibrant publications, online blogs, and Kremlin critics such as [Alexey] Navalny are part of that spectrum. There are also newspapers like Novaya Gazeta, in which different parts of society in Moscow are permitted to critique each other and it is tolerated, generally, because it isn’t a big TV channel that might have a mass popular effect, its audience is educated people in Moscow. So my interpretation is that in Russia there are competitors to WikiLeaks, and no WikiLeaks staff speak Russian, so for a strong culture which has its own language, you have to be seen as a local player. WikiLeaks is a predominantly English-speaking organization with a website predominantly in English. We have published more than 800,000 documents about or referencing Russia and President Putin, so we do have quite a bit of coverage, but the majority of our publications come from Western sources, though not always. For example, we have published more than 2 million documents from Syria, including Bashar al-Assad personally. Sometimes we make a publication about a country and they will see WikiLeaks as a player within that country, like with Timor East and Kenya. The real determinant is how distant that culture is from English. Chinese culture is quite far away.

He has no reason to lie, regardless of what platitude you try discredit him with. He isn't famous, he never will be. But he had a truth to share and it's one worth being shared. Trump is a dumb cunt, sorry to break it to you m8.

Trump has achieved nothing. He'd have more money if he didn't touch the cash his daddy left him and invested it in the safest least lucrative portfolio possible. No-one could have lost this election against Clinton, against the so called other Republican candidates, etc...He wins by default, and is the only person slimy enough to get in the ring. The sad thing is Trump will never understand the real elites aren't and will not ever be impressed by his vulgarian 'success', no-one of decent birth hosts a reality TV show. Poor bastard will never understand he's basically a slightly more orange Kardashian, with worse hair.

Real estate baron is the god mode of entrepreneurship. The life of a rootless cosmopolitan cashed up on wampum funny money is but a shade compared to that of he who can hold the land, as you can see by the ease with which Trump wrested the mantle from these pretenders.

I don't think that 'Trump is a failed businessman!' angle was ever fated to work out well for his opposition when the public is aware that Trump still has many maintained buildings and properties with his name plastered all over them.

You should probably drop that angle and focus on your narcissism angle and the possible drama he had with his 1st wife if you want to go at his past history.

Trying to fit those words together in a way that makes sense.

I guess you're referencing his use of moral hazard? He still fucked that up really, other business people who take advantage of that usually make money. I mean it refers to a position where you practically cannot lose, and all Trump managed to do was not go totally bankrupt.
