I suspect you are right about that, Stringsinger. However, he's only following orders. He will presently be tossed on the political rubbish heap by those who really give the orders and some other visible "face" will be trotted out as the new president to keep the American public distracted by the old "personality in the White House" game (which is the main purpose that most of our politicians serve when they assume office). They are the puppets in the puppet theatre, but you don't see the men holding the strings.

Voting does not in any way touch the men holding the strings, in my opinion. This is easily accomplished by those men exercising control of all the major political parties (and their leaders) through financial means (and if that fails, through considerably more drastic remedies, like career destruction by some well-arranged scandal...or by assassination).
