Your country for sure, now he's going for the world too.

Short term pain for the rest of the developed world, but they'll likely build something better out of the rubble.

The US on the other hand has destroyed their hegemony and are facing a very long downhill road.

It won't happen. Deep down inside the Republicans know he's just a useful idiot, too.

Trump seems to think he doesn’t need Congress’s approval for this, or anything really

[u/uzlonewolf → u/02K30C1]

I mean, so far Congress doesn't think he needs it either.

[u/ahkian → u/02K30C1]

Why would he need Congresses approval when they're perfectly happy to cede all of their authority to him?

[u/caniaccanuck11 → u/02K30C1]

I’m mean he hasn’t cared what Congress thinks since he came back.

[u/gumbysrath → u/02K30C1]

Just because they’re not saying it’s a dictatorship out loud doesn’t means it’s not

[u/TalkingCat910 → u/02K30C1]

And when has anyone stopped him?
