The most powerful person in the world? hmm... this is not easy, but for sure i don't agree with those who say Trump, Donald Trump is not the most powerful person in the world, being the president of the strongest country gives power a lot of power but doesn't make you the most powerful person, for example the  congress could kick him out at any moment for any reason, because when we say Trump as long as he is president of the US we don't mean the person Trump but we mean the president of the US government who is just a 4 or 5 years employee for the service of the country and the people, so it couldn't be Donald Trump or any other president. 

Throughout history the leaders of the most powerful states and kingdoms were the most powerful persons, but not anymore, now the most powerful persons live in the shadows or at least away from flashes, even the meaning of "most powerful" has changed now, you can see it as the leader of the most powerful army and i can see it as the one who controls the media and the opinion of people for example, someone else could see it as the leader of the most powerful intelligent service, or the richest person .

In my opinion there isn't such a person , but there is a couple of persons sharing that title racing and battling each other everyone at the field which he excels at, money or finance, arms, tech, media, secret services ..etc and we can see their battle clearly in the world  

Who is the most powerful person? Well before that I'm telling that I'm not a citizen of that country where the person is living. Even I'm not personally influenced by him. He is already accepted by 95% countries if the World. All the news medias have featuring him for couple of years as "THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD". And he is

 Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin 

The most powerful, influential, charismatic, dominating, intelligent, brave, skillful and a person who has most of the good qualities to be the most powerful person in this world is the Russian President  Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. 

None can deny that this man is the re-creator Russia. When he was not the president of Russia to maintain the constitution and Mr. Dimitri Medvedev was the president even that time he was the most influential person upon the president.

If you read about him then you will know that he served in KGB as a foreign intelligence office for 16 years and his performance was so distinguishing that her achieved quick promotions and become Lieutenant Colonel. He then resigned and entered in to politics and no sooner he moved to Moscow and start working in president Boris Yeltsin's administration. Again his performance was so well that makes him rising quickly through the ranks and he become President in charge on 31st December 1999, when Yeltsin resigned. Then he won the election and become the elected president of Russia. This year he has become the president of Russia for 4th term. 

His leadership is already proven and Russia is again one of the most powerful country in the world and regain the domination all over. He is so powerful that US opposition parties are often claiming his influence in last US president election. When the whole world was against Syria's president Bashar Al-Asad. Vladimir Putin supported him and controlled the situation on favor of Bashar Al-Asad and whole world had nothing to do but mourning.

I think none is comparable with him. And he is the Most Powerful person "Vladimir Putin".

The most in power is money. When you have money. You will be able to master everything.

1. Vladimir Putin

The most powerful person in the world for four consecutive years, the Russian President is considered to have influenced his country in almost every corner of the world; from his own homeland, Syria reached the election of the President of the United States.

2. Donald Trump

In 2015, Trump was only ranked 72nd. However, in 2016, Trump surged to the second ladder following his success in winning the seat of the President of the United States by defeating Hillary Clinton. Trump, who is famous for his business empire, is the 45th President of the United States replacing Barrack Obama.

take your pick, appearances can be deceiving :

some years ago it wasn't barack obama, it was a shared spot between Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel (as written by Time, the american magazine)

the image of an american president is severely distorted by hollywood movies (a bit like hackers who crack 1024 bit encryption on the fly because they have 8 screens in front of them)

True, its the supreme commander (commander-in-chief? i'm not down with the ranking terminology) , true, the americans probably have the most powerful or let's say technologically advanced military in the world.

This didn't stop IS from rising out of nothing up to controlling over 100thousand square kilometres just with looted gear and kitchen utensils (so to speak , and a whole lot of quite advanced psychology actually) it didn't stop Osama bin laden from hiding under the nose of the whole world for ten years either. Hell, i remember pakistani ambassadors coming to europe asking for money to fight terrorism and leave with tens of millions, maybe a hundred or more euros after they did, while all the time he was hiding in their backyard.

influence works on many levels, its not just about the ability to exert force , the chinese have been on the rise for quite a while now, russia hasnt budged an inch

india doesnt even make noise globally and there's like a billion people there too, but who knows the name of the boss from india ?

personally, i think the most powerful people in total globally , are people whos name you'll never hear. What's the name of putins daughter ? his wife ?

just an example

and with this i will conclude the daylight for today

the most powerful person in the world is the one who knows him or herself.
