President Trump loves power, its possession and its exercise. Indeed, in a backward arrangement he often exercises power in order to possess it, taking a questionable action first, and implicitly daring anyone to challenge or stop him. To his lawless view, authority is based not on the Constitution, nor any statute, but on what he can get away with. He exercises the power he desires, not the power he possesses, seeking to make it a fait accompli, a thing already done that he hopes will not be challenged, or will be difficult to challenge, because any challenge comes after the fact. When he is not stopped, in his mind, the power is his. We should not agree. - [The Unitary Executive Lie](https://50501dc.com/the-unitary-executive-lie/) - The president does not love truth.
