You’ve probably read similar pieces before, but

It is self-evident in the threats he makes daily to destroy his political enemies, made only worse by the frivolity and transience of the tone of those threats. He makes his enmity to American values clear when he suggests that the Presidency holds absolute power, through which he will be able to end opposition—whether by questioning the ownership of newspapers or talking about changing libel laws or threatening to take away F.C.C. licenses. To say “Well, he would not really have the power to accomplish that” is to misunderstand the nature of thin-skinned authoritarians in power. They do not arrive in office and discover, as constitutionalists do, that their capabilities are more limited than they imagined. They arrive, and then make their power as large as they can.

President Trump doesn’t need to understand how Government works, because he’s going to shake things up.

Really? God damn it, that is the last thing we need. Can we get some mental health options or at the very minimum a right to die law?

Well, no, I don’t think we need Congress to die. They might benefit from some mental healthcare though. /s

Yeah, it needs to have “For Life” between “President” and “Trump”.

At least the situation didn’t require a good guy with a balloon…'cuz that would mean clowns.

(OTOH, if Trump’s looking for something within his oeuvre…)
