“President Donald Trump’s expansion of executive power, including his unprecedented push to send troops into U.S. cities to combat crime and his attempt to seize control of aspects of the economy, has left Americans uneasy,” a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

“The findings suggest that a substantial majority of the public favors limits on presidential power and does not approve of Trump’s efforts to shatter longstanding norms.”

The votes to flip Congress to a Democratic majority are waiting to be cast.

Just don't be dragged into any other issue.

Less of Trump is the only issue.

If the accusation of "derangement syndrome" is made, "sole focus of concern" is the response.
