Obama's father was Kenyan, his mother from Hawaii, his maternal grandfather a US army Sergeant. That's about as far away from American political power as one can get and still be qualified to run for office. It's proof that any plebian from the peripheries of America can rise to be president. Conversely, Trump stands for the fact that anyone with the right combination of anger and money can usurp and then bend the political system to their will. There are many doors to power in the US, which is the whole point. Oppressive countries are not organized that way.
