It would've been someone else if not Donny. Power has been consolidated in the executive branch for decades, while that of congress and the senate has eroded. A system designed to be trilateral is no longer so when one of the three can just nope out of whatever the other two say. The US has only been fortunate that it's taken this long to have someone in that office with no morals.
It was already evident in 2010 that something like this was increasingly possible, as noted in Executive Unbound by Eric Posner.
