This man is so close to actually being president

no I'm serious, have you not seen how much support he gets?

Ok assuming your actually serious, yes he does have rather large rallies. But the polls are against him (those same ones he used to brag about in the primaries) showing him losing by five or ten points. A landslide loss in other words. For more evidence look at Arizona and Utah, states that are about as red as you can get. Both are currently in play. Wanna talk about fundraising? Hillary is destroying him 40 million to 3 million in May. This election will not even be close.

Further more it's becoming increasingly clear that this is in fact a con job. Any funds Trump is taking into his campaign are getting funneled into Trump owned businesses.

You're right, it is a con job. The whole election is a sham. Not too long from now, but before the end of the election, on a Friday, the news is going to announce that the banking system has been hacked, and nobody can access their money, it should be back up on Monday. Only Monday never comes. Obama declares martial law, and becomes a Third Term President.

If the president were able or willing to take that much power, they would of already done so to push so many of the laws and reforms that were knocked down by Congress

The president can, at any time, take control of all water sources, food, medicine, civil transport, all fuel sources, and can conscript anyone against their will. Now, the President has always had these powers.... During disasters and wartime. Obama has signed into law that he can use it during peacetime.
