In today’s world, in order to have any chance at all to be president a person must raise at least 100 million dollars (and to win election you need half a billion at minimum).

You must do well in ten or more primary election debates against aspiring candidates of your party.

You must win at least twenty-five primaries or party caucuses to secure enough delegates to win the nomination of a major political party.

You must hold you own in three presidential debates against the opponents of other major parties or independents.

You must get at least sixty million people to vote for you in the general election.

You must accumulate 270 electoral votes.

You have to pass muster with 535 members of Congress who must certify your electoral votes when only two members (one Representative and one Senator) can challenge your electoral votes and stop the counting and certification process until the challenge is resolved in both Houses of Congress

If a person can accomplish the above, then yes its easy for just about anybody to become president.
