my pet peeve with American voters is that they all seem to think the President is a legislator any part of a Presidential campaign platform based on passing legislation is (at best) worth glossing over the President has a huge impact on the executive branch, pretty significant impact on the judicial branch, and minimal impact on the legislative voters should be paying less attention when a Presidential candidate talks about legislation, and MORE attention when a Presidential candidate talks about executive actions, appointing/managing regulators, diplomatic stuff, trade deals, military stuff, etc.

Largely agree. I would add that the president can veto bills passed by Congress or sign them into law. And he/she can suggest new laws to Congress.
