The US President is both the head of state and the head of government. Trump ran entirely on being America's "voice" and a symbol of "the people" against "the global elites." So, that tells me he will at least serve as some sort of head of state. However, he seems to have no interest whatsoever as serving as head of government. This is pretty much the exact mistake GWB made - a bottom-heavy presidency of cold and calculating advisors with a mascot as their boss. At best, Trump can accomplish nothing while governing as his advisors take up the slack. At worst, our government is a headless chicken running in circles for four years.
I see a pattern here.
Also, does anyone else find it dishonest to claim to be an Indepent but then say "I understand why you don't like Republicans, I hate Democrats, and I kind of like Republicans".
