The President in particular is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

When I first heard of Donald Trump running for president, this is the exact passage that ran through my head. I'm like "oh great. President Beeblebrox".

His job was to distract from Soros' hand as it disappeared up his butt. It's the one thing he was fairly good at.
