When Trump says he has the βright to do anythingβ as president, he wants us to take him at his word. And unfortunately, many do. But his recordβand the reality on the groundβtell a different story. The fact is, Trump's grand threats usually end in retreat, with much of his power checked by four forces he canβt fully control: the courts, blue states, the civil service, and the people.
He also said, βI can do anything I want, Iβm the president of the United States.β The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.
