to be honest, presidents are fairly clueless about what the CIA, NSA,Congressional leadership etc. and their unelected or foreign friends are doing since the forties. If they know, (I'm looking at you, Bush Sr) then they are involved in the crimes directly.

Trump (except for the painful stupidity) wouldn't be any different than who we are since the cold war. Changing it would involve taking the government apart, piece by welded piece. I'm in for that, things are bad enough with our democracy gone. But how?
