What bullshit. I know he's couched it in "according to The Donald's narrative." The right comes up with labels that sound positive or at least unbiased but "unitary executive" is just a synonym for dictator or king. The right has been jonesing for this for at least 50 years.

It's at least an interesting take from a foreign writer in Padua, Italy.
