The president really isnt that powerful, they are only 'in the loop' for a max of 8 years. They are more like an official talking head, a public puppet, representing the real groups that run this country, these are people who are lifers, who will never be out of the loop. Trump made some crazy campaign promises, but if you notice, he has since backpedaled on some, I think this is because before trump was actually elected, he was not privy to all the secret stuff, once he officially won, they probably sat him down and he got a crash course in how things really work and how far and widespread the swamp truly is.
Point is, the people who are lifers are never going to let a temporary puppet upset their control or power.
