Abaris,
I understand your position and it's not without merit. I just think many people, here or abroad, overemphasize the office relative to everyday life and business in the U.S.
If Trump is elected I'm looking forward to Congress immediately scaling back the office's war powers ability; something that should have been done long ago. If Hillary is elected we can count on the fifth straight term of George W. Bush in this regard.
Let's face it. The man was given a Nobel Peace Prize for having done nothing only to escalate drone killings and ensuring that at least a small portion of our military was constantly engaged somewhere. I'm not sure why this translates into trust and respect in many international circles.
