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

[010101]

because the states are the most violent & most wealthy*

 

[Capitol]

If the president is the most powerful man on the planet then Uncle Sam is number 2 and Santa Claus is number 3

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Is it really tho? Japan, China and the UK hold enough treasury bonds to collapse the U.S. economy if they dumped them on the open market. Russia has more nukes, and is capable of hitting US targets. In terms of other categories, The US isn’t number one in any except prison population.

There is only one country in the world who's military can pull up ANYWHERE within 24 hrs.

being in charge of that, makes you pretty powerful. whether you feel like it or not.

The Potus is the only person in America who can deploy the United States Marine corps at a whim for 60 days

 

[Freedman]

Name 5 people more powerful than the POTUS?

The CEO's of the 5 largest American corporations that literally write the laws they want and buy congressmen to pass them :

White American govts sloganized the shyt out the position of the president and it's stuck for years but they don't even say leader of the free world much anymore because shyt ain't true objectively when you look at it china is becoming financially stronger the only thing we have left I a military and that's it. ain't no such thing as a fukking leader of the free world

Fishbowl syndrome.

That’s why I always recommend my US brehs travel and consume foreign media.

 

[ImLionyall]

America is the most influential country on Earth, militarily, economically and culturally. Most the world's nations have the US on their mind when they make international moves "How will US respond what we do?". POTUS holds the highest executive office in America. Do the math.

The US doesn't need a nuke to punk the world.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

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

I don’t know why but this got me dying

I can just imagine a cool ass history teaching saying this in class

Who’s the foreign people more powerful than the president?

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Be a dumbass, OP brehs.

You saying it aint true but when the President of the United States speaks, the entire world listens, friends and foes alike.

You sound like one of those dumbasses in 2016 who were saying it doesn't matter who is the president of the United States cause it won't affect our lives.

And we found out in the most painful way possible that it does matter.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Name 5 people more powerful than the POTUS?

Arguably the Supreme Court

Most notably, the 6 Republican members that serve there.

It’s ignorant people like you that inspired me to create this in the first place

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
