A president is still needed.
Why do tribes have tribal leaders? Why do armies have ranks? Why do sports teams have captains?
People, groups, organizations and teams in general need a representative, a figurehead to give a face to said groups. In regards to the president he also brings an image of how America is going to grow, people vote for that image that they want thus Trump got elected.
The problem with voting for Trump as the People's representative is that there will always be people who's didn't vote for him and when their preferred candidate loses it's a case of too bad! The majority voted for the image of Trump's America that he promised to enact if elected and if electoral promises arn't kept then nobodies happy.
There are a lot of people who didn't vote for Obama and wern't happy with the result, there were a lot of people who voted for Obama and promises wern't kept.
Basically it boils down to corruption. Unfortunately you can't please everyone all the time, there will always be things that presidents do that people won't agree with, doesn't matter if they're 4-8 year term presidents or lifetime dictators like the Kim family, and you know what? It'd be the same result in directionless cooperative communes too.
The vast majority of people will always be unhappy, just like finding a job that you truly love, the majority of people will never find it, if you manage to be the very rare 1% who actually thinks that everything's pretty much gravy then you're very very lucky. Most of us make the best out of situations and fall back on compromises.
Some people don't want to do that though and stamp their feet like petulant children, life's tough, too bad, suck it up.
