I'm pretty ambivalent about him to be honest. It gets really hard to separate facts from propaganda these days, and people only really care about thr kayfabe aspects of politics rather than what's actually happening.
If anything, I give him some credit. He has an agenda, and he's going after it regardless of the roadblocks. I do absolutely agree though, the executive branch has been getting more powerful for a very long time, and maybe this will open people's eyes a little.

Look, I am by no means a Trump fan, but I don't see this as even close to the most outrageous thing he's done. And the democrats whining about this are hypocrites. Obama murdered with impunity, including a US citizen. The Noriega mess set the precedent for this action. Both parties have been expanding executive power for decades. The difference is Trump is not a born politician. In that sense his acts are more open and honest. How many regime changes has the CIA orchestrated in the last 50 years? How about Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, Clinton blowing up a Sudan factory, Bosnia? Gaza genocide? Again, I'm no fan of Trump, but the whole system is rotten to the core.
