The Problem with the Presidency

The notion of a group of smart people guiding the planet is challenged, as the speaker believes the systems are too complex for such centralized control. The problem is not specific presidents like Trump, Obama, or Bush, but rather with the institution of the presidency itself. The presidency was conceived in an era when the world was much smaller and easier to manage, but now, it encompasses responsibilities beyond any one individual's capacity. The speaker asserts that no single person can effectively handle running the military, education, economy, and healthcare simultaneously. The system has become unmanageable even for those operating within it.
