Thursday

He wants to govern by fiat.

None of those pesky checks and balances.

None of those annoying responsibilities.

He wants to mandate what he thinks without any regards to the Constitution or idea that he’s actually working in the interests of the people.

And he wants to be worshiped as great and powerful.
