Who is above the law?

When I hear Trump rage against judges any time a decision goes against him, he’s making his intentions for the USA very, very clear.

He’s declared anything he does “legal”, because he’s the president, and anything that gets in his way “illegal”. He has no concept of, and is incapable of understanding, the fundamental notion that a president’s power is not – and never was intended to be – absolute.

Dammit, you all fought a war – that you celebrate every July – to rid yourself of a king.

But then, Trump can’t actually tell you what’s in the Declaration of Independence. He says it’s “a declaration of unity and love and respect." No, it was a group of colonists rejecting the absolute power of a monarchy.

An absolute power that he’s successfully taking back for himself.
