The Americans themselves helped set up the system in Germany after WWII as a compromise to have a relatively weak leader and yet a stable government, in order to prevent another Machtergreifung. They didn't have the wisdom to take some of the lessons learned from the failure of the first German republic home with them, and Trump is the result of that.
