I also find it funny, if Obama said the same thing Trump said, there would be calls for his head and how he thinks he is a dictator.

This is exactly what I think. He is a business man with his empire; He says "do" and it gets done. It doesn't work that way in politics. With politics it's six months of planning before you announce anything, six months of selling it to Congress etc, another six months of selling it to the public, then another six months to find the funding. The entire time you will have to fight off attacks from people who oppose your idea, and even after they've lost the battle they will keep on fighting you tooth and nail - a classic example is Obamacare. While all of this is going on, the President is distracted by ten thousand other things - Hurricanes, flooding, shootings, terrorist attacks - and then suddenly there is a huge scandal in a department you have little control over, be it the IRS, DEA, or the Pentagon.
And this is what Trump is not going to be able to handle. He's going to say one dumb thing - such as his comment about Transgendered people in the military - and it will set off a firestorm and debate that will suck up two weeks of news time.
As it stands right now, Trump has the largest percentage of the vote from the Republican party, but it won't be enough to carry the day. Currently as it stands, it doesn't matter who he goes up against - Hillary or Bernie - he losses. Trump will not carry the two demographics Republicans need the most, Hispanics and women, and in the mean time he is pissing off everyone else including the disabled, Muslims, and transgendered. He is most likely pissing of the Asians as well who haven't forgotten what America did to them during the 1940s.
Trump is good at marketing himself. He pushes the right buttons to get and keep our attention. After that he's got nothing.
