That may be the reality, that doesn't excuse the ignoramuses who think the economy is basically a PlayStation game that depends entirely on the skills of the person holding the controller (the president) and the second a less skilled person takes that controller the entire thing collapses.

I'm describing people like you, in case you didn't catch that.

So a delusional conspiracy theory, that's your big reason?
So you think that the professional managerial class existing is a myth? Odd

Elections are a popularity contest for the candidates, not an economics and civics exam for the voters. Much or maybe even most of the electorate are ignorant and always have been. That’s one of the problems with democracy. At least this fact both afflicts and benefits both parties.

Here’s a decent video on the president’s influence over the economy. Nothing really groundbreaking in it, although it does bring up the idea of perception influencing behavior which then influences the economy:

The video failed to talk about the largest by far driver of the economy and that is the amount of subsidies and penalties the government issues on private businesses. While the president only signs the legislation for these things, usually the people elect a congress that will perform his mandates.

"I bet I'll be dead by morning, if I'm right I'll be rich"

Nuclear war doesn't make seperation between rich and poor. Not to burst you "I'll be  rich "  bubble ADL.

Radio-active fallout, like dust spread in the wind, and  it also attaches to dust particles we breath in.

Maybe you'll have time to buy an underground nuclear fallout silo before any dust lands on you.

How many years of supplies to plan to store in the underground silo?

You know damn well that "professional managerial class" is not what people hear when the words "deep state" are uttered. Stop being dishonest.

Then you have been listening to the wrong things. Clearly that's what people who elected Trump heard.

MSNBC take: The swamp is out of a Shrek movie.

Based take: The swamp is the group of unelected career government workers. Mostly in D.C.

Then that's just plain stupid. The term "deep state" has no value unless you are implying something nefarious, so if that's really what you hear the term is completely useless.

And yet you people throw it out constantly, so we both know your full of shit.

What is intrinsically beneficial about the term "career D.C. unelected employee?"

How about a multi-billion dollar industry lobbyist...is that also less than nefarious?

Your compass is wrong. Just don't be evil.

What does this have to do with our conversation? That's the first time anyone here has used that term. Focus.
