Trump is power-drunk (ARTICLE)

President Donald Trump’s place in history is secure, but he’s not going to like it because he’ll be portrayed as the wannabe tyrant that he is, and presidential historian Michael Beschloss made that pretty clear on Sunday.

Trump has been seizing more power every chance he gets, even going so far as to defy congressional subpoenas and claim that the president can do anything.

He has forced the Justice Department to be his own personal legal team. He fires anyone who conducts actual oversight. And he retaliates against anyone who is loyal to the American people and the Constitution instead of solely to him.

Throughout this coronavirus pandemic, Trump has been even more drunk on power, using it as cover to strip basic rights from people and suspend laws and regulations he doesn’t like.
