Is Trump basically a king now?

from The Bunker – News without the nonsense · host Podmasters

He ignores court rulings. He scatters “executive orders” like confetti. He orders the machinery of the state to persecute his enemies, he uses troops against private citizens, and the Supreme Court says he’s above the law.
