Why is Trump constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?
The problem with executive authority for the president, it's really bad news for this reason, since he's given up on working with Congress, he thinks he can impose anything he wants. He's not a king. He's a president.
It seems like he wants to do everything without the other branches of government. He's not a king, he's not a dictator, he's not allowed to do it himself.
President Trump has been a lawless president in his use of executive orders, whether those executive orders are around immigration or whether those executive orders are around guns. It is delusional, dangerous, not to mention uncons utional for Trump to continue to talk about tariffs and inauguration crowd sizes in the wake of a Paris terrorist attack, instead of talking about a plan to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
With Congress away on recess and the American people distracted by the holidays, Trumps constant executive order power-play is classic dictator. These orders are an uncons utional assault on America’s workers. Why are we robbing seniors and veterans of their hard-earned benefits to give handouts to coal industry and rich people? Why did we fight a revolution against the tyranny of one, unelected monarch so we could surrender our Cons ution to this out-of-control president?
These orders are unilateral, overreaching and uncons utional. Left unchecked, it is behavior that undermines, and will ultimately erode, the foundation of our democracy and our freedom.
With the GOP facing a potential loss of the Senate majority, Trumps arrogant answer will be to bypass Congress and act alone.
This is temper tantrum-like behavior and my-way-or-the-highway at ude.
