    To be sure, none of us really know what it’s like to be in the office of president, but I would be surprised if a current sitting president had any power over the military industrial complex either. The office isn’t as powerful as many people like to think.

        People are scared of Trump not leaving. Biden issued a bunch of orders that undid a bunch of Trump’s orders pretty much as soon as he got into office. Anything a president orders can be unordered by the next president. Presidential orders are not a silver bullet, they’re limited and can be undone as easily as they’re done. Considering there is a lot of budget money spent on military programs that congress doesn’t even know about, it’s not as easy to shut down as you people seem to think.

        Trump has proven 0 respect for democracy or process, and went so far as to post his manifesto on his campaign website under the title “Project 2025”.
