Not sure what I should do for my second wish.

So this shmuck asked for money for his first wish, so I dropped a pallet of money next to him, he'll find the loan statement from the bank at the bottom of the pile.

For his second wish he asked for power. Real imaginative, this one. But like, how do I mess this one up subtly? I could electrocute him outright, or make him the mayor of some small village, or make him a Reddit mod, or I could go the other way and make him the CEO of a falling company or the president of a failing country... He's so vague it's too easy and I'm not sure which way to take this! I'm expecting his third wish to be equally banal, so maybe I actually grant him this one, give him true success, and then screw him over hard on his third wish?

Anyone have any ideas on this one?
