Great Man Theory is nonsense, but I do believe that conditions of history can create the circumstances that allow one man to have outsized influence on the world. Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Martin Luther, Napoleon... Donald J Trump.

Is it that one person has influence or is it all the people organized around him doing the actual things that you attribute to the “great man”‘s influence? It’s not that some individuals have power, it’s that a lot of people behave as if they do
