These days, does it really matter WHO becomes President? The President is just one person, and his / her time in office is limited. Even if they do something good, the next President and his / her government may very well undo it.
Bigger problem is the system, and this relates to governments and politics in a general sense. You'd be fooled to think these snakes in suits really care about the common man. They don't. They sometimes give the impression of caring and throw a few scraps every now and then, but in the end it's all to make sure they stay in power. A politician who actually wants to serve the people even at his own expense is, in my opinion, a unicorn.
It doesn't really matter who becomes President because the real power's in the hands of the corporations and the military-industrial complex. They'll back whoever they think is most suited for promoting their interests at a particular point in time, and try to swing public opinion on favor of that candidate.
As for my opinion of Trump, he's not even a career politician but a greedy businessman. What do you expect? Would you expect him to bend his back for the American people and devote time and financial resources to help individuals and families?
I'm not American, I'm Chinese-Canadian, but I believe pretty much all governments are essentially autocracies or oligarchies where the desires of the elite few are satisfied at the expense of everyone else. I don't care if it's America, Canada, Europe, China, South Korea, it's all the same. Sure they may profess different ideologies and there will always be rhetoric, but their goals are all the same, and it's the people who are being driven back and forth often with great suffering.
