What with the abundance of Executive Orders that Trump has issued, permitting him to circumvent the Congressional stamp, and his ability to redirect funds that Congress has already earmarked, and the cavalier manner he can control the setting of tariffs and their levels; and the capricious direction he can give to those who manage our borders, the President is displaying an enthusiastic leap to become the first US King--not in name but in stature. He even uses tariffs to cajole other countries to do his bidding--e.g., Mexico's deal with him to prevent an escalation of tariffs of goods from Mexico.
And he pooh-poohs in defiance the pleas of Congress to permit them to perform Congressional oversight of his Administration.
Can the Democrats prevent this from becoming a usual way Presidents are to act in the future--Presidents who would be donned a kingly potentate--in power though not in name?
