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

[Apollo Creed]

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.

Power is the concept, influence and force are the application.

in order to execute the concept (power) you do it via a form of application (influence, force, etc).

each application has tools (money, weapons, etc)

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.

Breh there have been ppl who permanently nullified Presidents and kings throughout history, cause they KILLED them.

Does that mean that the person who pulled the trigger has more power than the president?


You sound dumb right now.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

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


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

take you pics at dictators with stolen positions of power or past hated/assassinated monarchs or whoever is currently trying to sit atop Sudan.

it's a reason democracy isa in most places world wide... you can have power and lack the influence to hold it and spend your time in rulership fighting your own people. we see it often. Myanmar as well. Adan Chavez tried to ride Hugo's coattails in Venezuela.. he had the power not the influence

You would be the one to stray far away from the topic at hand

Because a US President has a military at their beck and call, along with the most devastating weapons at their disposal

agree to disagree.

If they had no influence, then they wouldn't be in power.

Lemme ask you this. What do you feel keeps presidents and leaders from being assassinated on the daily?

It happens sometimes, true. But why not all the time? The times that it has happened shows that it's possible. Secret service and guards do as good a job as they can but they ain’t infallible.

Everybody and their mama has a gun.

So in your opinion, how come we, meaning society, doesn't just eliminate a leader that we don't like? Why doesn't this happen more often when it's obvious that most of the world is unhappy with their leaders?

All the people saying no ain’t gave a single name yet. I ain’t even saying they’re wrong but nobody’s gave names yet of who’s more powerful

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.

Hilarious. People just like to talk...

Dude asked for a man who was more powerful than the president. You gave a group of ppl and then accuse me of straying from the topic


You don't want to address my previous points cause you know it proves that you ain't got a leg to stand on with these weak arguments you're making.

I’m actually working on like a million different things at once and don’t have the time or care to engage in this topic at hand with you.

Cause you know you can't win this argument.


Have a good day, breh

The only person who cares about winning an argument is you

Us debating isn’t putting money in my pocket or yours as well.

you can have influence in your circle n not outside of it and use force to balance out the vacuum of influence. this what they do...

the blueprint of military coups...

most people enjoy the comforts of stability not chaos. most anarchists are unhinged and have nothing to lose if they disrupt the order of things. a person with a career, family and things to lose is not going to be the loose nut. so majority of people chose to believe in the established order and following due diligence because after all the thing you are fighting for still has to be there in the end. the ones that want to take control and circumvent process by any means don't care if everything burns to the ground that is why they are the fringe most players.

Malcom and Martin always had influence even when they didn't have power which is why they were assassinated.

Mandela had influence most of his life from behind a cell with no power...

I knew that was a lie when they got at Bill Clinton for getting a BJ from a hot young intern. You can’t be the most powerful man m the world, if you can’t get a little top on the side...

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.

Yeah but China by themselves do have a good bit of the worlds population
