Why do people keep saying the u.s. president is the most powerful man in the world?

[You Win Perfect]

America is the strongest country. We would easily fade any country 1 on 1 if we didn't give a fukk about optics or securing natural resources afterwards

They do go around destroying countries for natural resources.
Amerikkka is not the strongest country.

When history and current events clearly shows that’s complete bullshyt. The constitution is designed so that cannot be the case. Is it because he control the nukes? Presidents of other countries control nukes as well. Domestically, the president has very little real power.


So when people say the president is the leader of the free world when other countries abolished slavery before America and legal apartheid didn’t end until the late sixties (Jim Crow) I laugh. Ignorance is like a virus.

It's the Nukes and their reach

Because he basically is. Every American presidential election is closely followed by other countries throughout the world. When Biden won in 2020, other countries were celebrating. When there is an international crisis going on, countries look to the United States for leadership. America has military bases all over the world, the largest and best navy in the world and has had the ability to fight a major war on two fronts since the 1940s.

The American dollar has been the reserve currency of the world for over 60 years.

The president is the commander and chief of the armed forces and the leader of the country. By default he's the most powerful man in the world.

I keep noticing that all these ppl who are saying he isn't the most powerful man in the world haven't named one man who is more powerful.

Trump's influence was greater than his power.

I live in Canada and we are having protests about "covid" really maga protests that are inspired by the capital riots that the world has been watching.

white nationalism was bolstered around the world by Trumps rise to power from Brazil to Brexit.

Trump had far reaching influence without power to compare.

influence is a form of power, no?

power is the ability to make people/something act in a desired manner.

the application of power can be in different ways (force or influence).

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Topic is a perfect example of that article that stated 54% of Americans read at or below a 6th grade level. When asked to name someone more powerful than the US President, the given responses are groups of people.

You see it.

I'm surprised by @Thavoiceofthevoiceless

He's smarter than this

it's not direct so I wouldn't categorize it as the same. you can have power without influence. I wouldn't call Biden influential but he still has the same presidential powers Trump had.

Influence IS power, my nikka.

Cause you don't keep up with current events. Every move Biden makes in some way form or fashion directly impacts the world. He just ain't blustering, braggadocious and foolish about it.

Biden could make the markets drop today with one word if he wanted to. He just ain't stupid enough to do it, while Trump was literally that stupid.

A person who truly belongs in a powerful position doesn't abuse that power just because he can. That's the major difference between Trump and every other president.

no

you've met people in positions of power with little influence. being powerful doesn't necessary mean you are influential especially if you are not relatable. that doesn't mean they don't have force tho. you can show power by force you can't force influence. inlfuence is the capacity to have effect on character. relatability is heavily implied because it is about more sway than force.

thus Biden is a president with power but lacks the charm, the influence and isn't as relatable as an Obama or Trump...

Where’s the lie in what I said

There are people and groups that can nullify decisions that the president makes and even you know that.

every move xi makes impacts the world. same with Putin as we are seeing and many others.

the initial point was most powerful man to which I responded this ain't back in the day... yes I do follow current events.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

no

Breh, again I say... influence IS power.


Name 5 ppl in positions of power that have no influence.

People don't watch the moves of Xi and Putin the way they do Biden.

The people in other nations, not just people in power... the general population in other nations listen when the president of the United States speaks.

And they understand him too, cause most of the world speaks English.

The general population of countries aint listening when Putin or Xi speaks.

We couldn't even if we wanted to, cause the majority of the world doesn't speak Russian or Chinese.
