Trump May Not Want to Share Power With His Own Party’s Congress
Trump May Not Want to Share Power With His Own Party’s Congress
Why rely on petty legislators when vastly increased presidential powers can get the job done?
It's not like they're chopping the bit to take it from him. They seem perfectly happy to let him do everything he wants.
*champing at the bit
*chimpan at the byte
Chopin on the beat?!
Of course not.
It's not as if Trump is difficult to figure out or predict.
All you have to do really is keep in mind the fact that he has the emotional development of a spoiled toddler.
So all you have to do is ask yourself, for instance, "Would a spoiled toddler share power with Congress?"
And the answer is "No."
It’s not as if Trump is difficult to figure out or predict.
Exactly. He grabs them by the pussy. He is doing the same with the country. This video is a decent prediction of how it will unfold. Of course he has a lot of instruction from the far right folks, because he is too stupid.
That's why it blows my mind how so many republicans are helping him, regular people and politicians alike. Like, y'all know you're not getting a slice of the pie right? In the end he'll only want the ones that are useful, not the ones that are loyal. Loyalty only goes so far when you aren't useful anymore.
Like, y'all know you're not getting a slice of the pie right?
No, a lot of them don't because they are really fucking stupid.
By the time the average schmoe makes it Congress they've been a big shot for years. They were a star in high school, important at college, had their pick of jobs after graduating, and were hand picked by The Establishment to run for office. They can't comprehend that Trump doesn't care about any of that.

I never understood fascism until Trump came in. It works not because he gives orders, but because others *want to give him the power.
I’ve had this exact discussion with my father. We both think it’s absurdly short sighted for the SCOTUS to give Trump immunity like they did, even if they reserve the right to define what is in bounds. The moment he has unlimited power, they’re toast.
I'm surprised he pardoned the Jan 6 people. I thought he would let them hang because their usefulness was done. The fact that he didn't suggests he wants something more from them.
It tells all the militias and proud boys and what not that they can do anything, even illegal stuff, and Trump will have their back. He's essentially put out a hit on every member of Congress that would think about crossing him.
They're his future
brown shirtsred hats.They're still very useful. Gives the rest of us something to focus on while he does worse things behind the scenes.
"may not want"?
lol
has already blatantly and repeatedly stepped on congress' toes and assumed much of their powers. he isn't sharing and no, he doesn't 'want to' either.
this should be infuriating to every member of congress, regardless of party..
so.. wutcha gunna do about it, dear members of congress? stop him? or be a willing and liable accomplice who are already forgotten by the asshole in chief now that he literally doesn't need you anymore.
They're happy just riding his coattails and picking up his scraps along the way. They won't turn on him unless the donor spigot runs dry because they're irrelevant to the process and donors would rather go straight to the Pres.
Wannabe Dictator Wants To Be A Dictator
FTFY
Right? Why the fuck are we tiptoing around this word.
He's acting like a dictator and feckless Republicans are letting him do it.
Republicans in Congress won't complain until they notice they're no longer worth bribing.
It's like they created a monster and set it loose thinking they could control it, but turns out they can't, because it's a monster. Nobody could have seen that coming...
Except everyone of course.
Trump share toys? I doubt that even happened when he was a child. He was bred for this kind of lunacy. Too bad all those undecided democrats decided not to vote.
Trump
Not
ShareYeah, obviously. He doesn't share anything with anyone.
not true.
he shares blame.
he's so 'generous' even, he'll let others have all of it.
He doesn't share blame. Blame is for other people, not him. He is above blame by birthright, as far as he's concerned.
Sharing it means that at one point, he had some or all of it. Trump has already gone on record during his first term directly saying he refuses to accept responsibility for anything. Heck, he just got finished saying that our trade deals with Canada and Mexico were bad and tried to deflect blame away, even though he was the one who negotiated them in the first place.
lol “may”
So? It's not like a room of 5 year olds was Gunned Down! Who cares about the Constitution?
