“The president’s authority is total. And that’s the way it’s gotta be.” -Donald Trump. No that is NOT the way it’s gotta be or is supposed to be. We have a president, not a king or dictator. And we have three coequal branches of govt. It’s horrifying how many have forgotten that

This was a conversation about the use of use of unilateral emergency powers to shut down travel from China in January, not "total authority over everything", but "total authority over this one thing" where, frankly, he was correct. You're a liar, Marianne.

What's horrible is that there is no way for the people to remove a president if the situation is what we have. A Republican Senate as well as an administration who won't do the right thing. Mind blowing that no one considered this possibility. We should be able to vote him out.

Most of us don't think he's a king or a dictator! Many of us feel like he is doing a great job leading this country. Liberals need to wake up and stop black balling him. I always thought you were a fair and spiritual person. It appears you aren't.

That is not president Trump's problem talk to your buddys Obama and Biden who did all kinds of stupid executive orders.

When are you going to pause, take a break from ripping on the president, and see the good things he is doing for world peace.
