Trump still has been able to wield tremendous change and influence.

I disagree mildly with the 1% statement. Mainly because I think it's more tremendously variable.

I think it's more like - a president has tremendous executive power (EG, decision makers comporting with what he wants) WHEN HE IS POPULAR.

When the president is not popular or is being actively sabotaged it's more like almost 0%.

Perhaps it averages out to 1%.
