In America, anybody can be president. That's one of the risk

Summary

This quote suggests that in America, anyone has the potential to become the president. However, it also implies that this accessibility comes with risks.

This may be due to varying levels of capability, intentions, or consequences of different individuals assuming the role. Hence, while the democratic nature of American politics allows for this possibility, it also highlights the potential uncertainties and challenges associated with such a system.
