Are presidents bound by their predecessors into dysfunctional procedures? Or may presidents choose to simply say, "That's not how we do it anymore, because that didn't work"?

Without getting into endless arguments as to what worked or didn’t work in the past ... Yes, the populus in democratic countries tries to bring about (often needed) change via their votes only to find out that they have been conned by soon forgotten platform promises and/or the “Jackal and Hide” type personalities.

Being of German origin, I view the rise of the AfD with equal concern as the direction of the Trump presidency. The for me scary part in both examples: The thinly veiled “call to arms”.

Trump is “joking” about staying in power well beyond what your constitution allows. I don’t think he is joking!
