Why do people think the president is supposed to be a person to grant your every wish and fix all the problems in America?

It's an imperfect system. But at least we don't have someone in office who is actively trying to break it anymore, at least.



Social media, and media in general, have a lot to do with it. The president won't have much impact on the day-to-day lives of most people. That's how government was setup with checks and balances.

Yet people have been trained and agitated into believing a singular group and person is responsible for everything possible, even though local state and city policies make much more impact.
