Who is feeding the First Moron with these crazy and dangerous ideas about constitutional powers?

I have no doubt that Trump has never read the Constitution, which he said he cherishes. So who is writing script on his presidential authority. My money is on that weasel Stephen Miller.

Seems like it was so long ago he said that on TV. You can bet he is still in trump’s ear all day long.

CNN

President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin appear to have had more sustained contact with each other in the past two weeks than at any time since 2016, as the Kremlin tries to use the coronavirus pandemic and close personal ties between the two leaders to normalize long-strained relations with Washington.

The two leaders spoke on the phone at least four times over a two-week period, beginning March 30 and ending on Sunday, a record pace for publicly known phone calls between the leaders, according to a CNN tally.

It's in his head. How many times in this crisis has he said things about what he can do, what others can't, and then reverse course?
The reversal comes when someone he sort of listens to, gets it into his head that he can't really do what he said. Or that others have the authority not him.
I'm always willing to hold that twit Miller up to utmost scrutiny. I just don't think the DOLTUS needs anybody to pyt incorrect notions into his mind.

very well orchestrated and in the background, our country continues to be destroyed further with deregulation.

He got the AG job because he wrote a memo to the effect that the president can do anything he wants.
