  5. And I thought Trump is president. And Trump is the guy saying he is the law. And Trump is the guy saying the only power should be him not Congress not the Judiciary. And Trump is the guy ignoring court rulings. And Trump is the guy making images of him as King (Spoiler: Republic means "has no king"). And Trump is the guy firing all and everyone in government who could hold him accountable. And Trump is the guy threatening media when they have an opinion of their own. And Trump is the guy defining truth by decree. And Trump is the guy throwing out Reuters and AP and letting Russian State TV into the oval office. And all that in just 4 weeks.
