He would be the commander in chief, get to appoint diplomats, financial officers, and possibly up to 4 supreme court justices (they're getting pretty old...), and would have the power to sign executive orders (which he has said that he will not do after criticizing Obama for forcing so many executive orders as of late, though who knows if he will stay true to that). Some of his goals include cooperating with Russia to fight ISIS in Syria, cooperating with China to put North Korea in its place, negotiating better trade deals with China, Japan, and Mexico, rejecting the TPP, and strengthening the border between Mexico and the US. It seems to me that he could at least partially accomplish many of those goals with just the power vested in him and his cabinet.
