I agree. Though there's a limit to what he actually can do in the US power structure, even with buy-in by other figures. It's a truism in the US that if you care about the economy and defense you should vote Republican, and yet when you look at the actual actions of Republican presidential administrations you basically have to go back to Reagan economic and defense policies which were actually decent (and Reagan's most decent economic policy was reappointing Volcker who was originally appointed by Carter). This is not to say Democrats have been all that much better, but at least they weren't cutting taxes during an expensive war of offense. These same truisms exist about so-called strong leaders.
