POTUS, like Congress, is elected ceremonial (puppet actor) position. As long as the puppet actor stays within the script boundaries, the opposition and undermining is low-key. In Brandon's case, the power structure has complete discretion and freedom. There is no opposition, he says what they ask him to say. His "experts" are in control.
The government is in a condition of revolution against the people - or something that passes for government. Who really controls is complicated, but NGOs, government agencies, lobbyists, and at the top, global money interests (including organized crime and kickbacks to the so-called "law enforcers") are where the power really lies.
Bingo!
It should now be obvious to the voters it was those "experts" that placed Obama and then Biden in the Oval Office. They chose those two rather than Hillary.
Have long argued it was folly to think only in terms of replacing Obama, and now Biden. Trump has no doubt learned that lesson. He will face two enormous battles, of course, a potentially corrupted race for the Oval Office and then survival in office.
