Yes, many people on this board are right. Presidential powers are balanced by other institutions and limited. But that is mainly in domestic policies, with their multiple interest groups.

In foreign affairs, the President has much more freedom. Besides, what Trump has been talking, does make sense and is easier and more predictable - what happens to Syria if Assad goes? Most probably a continuing disaster. Fighting ISIS is more important to US than Assad.
