The presidency is representative of how the US is one giant corporation made up of corporations;
they are the CEO meaning they’re elected by the shareholders to be the public face of policy and to put their name on pieces of paper representing those policies, and they’re also the patsy for when things go wrong. Unclear if Trump grasps that second part (doubtful).
