O is a strong man president. Probably all the presidents to come after will be also to differing extent. Congress is fully castrated. Judicial review is baloney as the judges pursue their politics with the thinnest veneer of "law interpretation." The press is propaganda. All that is missing is a secret police although those elements are lurking.

It's that he's got enough backbone to name the elephant in the living room and intends to do something about it. I know of nothing he's said that indicates he favors any kind of an extra-constitutional approach. Rather, what's novel about him is that he has a conscious appreciation of what American interests are and intends to advance them in the areas of immigration and trade.Col. B.
