i tend to see trumps abuse of office as an unprecedented claim to powers a president does not, did not, and should not have.

only partisan blinders would cause one to equate trumps actions with anything from our past.

mark my words, maga is about dismantling the american system and establishing a totalitarian state. obey.

IMO, Obama claiming the power to assassinate US citizens on US soil (by declaring them "foreign combatants") was primarily different in that he only used it a little bit.
