I’m not sure how much this one will fit what you are looking for but so far I found this comment:

> [@The argument that Trump will do whatever he wants and no one can stop him is really fucking boring](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-argument-that-trump-will-do-whatever-he-wants-and-no-one-can-stop-him-is-really-fucking-boring/1011527/110):

> It’s quickly becoming clear that he’s not as intimidating as he once was, and he’s looking a lot weaker and less in control of the situation. This isn’t a president who’s going to be able to issue dictatorial edicts and have the other branches of government just go along with it.

No, the word “harmless” isn’t used but this is just one example by this poster claiming DJT is weaker and won’t be able to issue “dictatorial edicts”. Plenty of people would disagree with that comment.

ETA: It’s a 500+ post thread so it will take some time for me to find more examples.
