"Trump, in practice already the U.S. president..."

I do not agree that Trump has such practical ability to wield the power of the federal government, because he does not yet actually have the authority to effect that power. He is able to assert how he will use that authority when he does have it, which is scheduled to begin on Jan 20, ten days from today. This does create some political pressure on persons and entities, but it falls far short of having that pen in hand and being able to immediately exercise it.

Thanks!

Hello friend, I am clear about what you state here. I meant to point to the irrelevance of the Biden administration in its lame-duck days and how Trump, from speech alone, moves the market and produces policy changes and concrete actions worldwide. Biden doesn´t have such power right now, but there is no disagreement with your point. Thanks for your feedback always.
