It didn’t take long for a New York Times article about Donald Trump’s plans to “increase presidential power in 2025” for the left to suffer yet another mental breakdown, rushing on the air and in print to call the news “terrifying,” “frightening,” “menacing,” “incredibly alarming.” And, of course, “fascist,” or as a University of North Carolina professor took to the Atlantic to declare, “a new kind of fascism.”
What has the left grasping for the Xanax again? Here are the horrifying facts as reported by the Times:
Trump – as well as other Republicans running for office – hope to “increase the president’s authority” over the executive branch of government, including “independent” federal agencies.
“He wants to revive the practice of ‘impounding’ funds, refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated for programs a president doesn’t like,” the Times reports. “He intends to strip employment protections from tens of thousands of career civil servants, making it easier to replace them if they are deemed obstacles to his agenda.”
As the Times puts it: “The agenda being pursued has deep roots in the decades-long effort by conservative legal thinkers to undercut what has become known as the administrative state.”
To constitutional scholars such as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, this is “a plan to radically change the form of governance that we have in the United States. So as to concentrate all the power of the government in the hands of a single leader.”
Maddow and others throwing temper tantrums might try reading the Constitution one day. Right there, in Article II, Section 1, it says “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”
The Constitution also says that there are two other branches of government designed to check executive authority, known as Congress and the Supreme Court.
What really freaks the left out isn’t that Trump and many other conservatives want greater control over the executive branch, it’s that they are finally getting serious about taking on the fourth branch of government.
I worry about what lengths the deep state would go to in order to stop Trump.
She needs a lot of cheese to go with all that Whine
“a plan to radically change the form of governance”
It’s a plan to UNDO the radical change in governance.
Same thing is happening to Bibi in Israel. Hope Trmp notices this.
Not surprising since the Left is basically ignorant about America and its Constitution.
The President of the U.S. IS the executive branch you stupid Lying Delusional Leftists.
I didn't know she was a "constitutional scholar". I thought she was just a protected class bloviating sow. What do I know?
the deep state runs the executive branch
its in the constitution
The Atlantic is a cesspool of liberal hate. Also Vanity Fair. They make MSNBC look objective.
I think with any new president, everyone submits their resignation.
No doubt, Trump had thousands of federal pajama boys working to undermine him 24/7.
“He wants to revive the practice of ‘impounding’ funds, refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated for programs a president doesn’t like”
You mean like how Joe Biden refused to continue building the border wall, or enforcing immigration law, even though Congress appropriated funds for those things?
Like that?
BTTT
Any.
I worry about what lengths the deep state would go to in order to stop Trump.
Correct. If and when all the sham court cases fall through, there is only one avenue left IMO. Cue up a video of a lincoln convertible in 1963 in Dallas. I put NOTHING past this bunch and half the RINOs.
Aside: I wonder if the Turtle speaking at the senate froze up hearing the Hunter deal was killed.
America needs Trump more than Trump needs America.
They are just making crap 💩 up now and blowing it out of proportion !!! Now they are trying to use the same scare tactics on .gov employees Leeches, that they are going to lose their jobs, just like they do with Senior Citizens and SS payments.
President Donald J. Trump wants to be able to get rid of USELESS .gov Departments and Agencies. And I as well as others have a few for the List to start with.
And they can't READ English.so therefore they are scared. Going through life being illiterate must be a real bitch !!!
Ummm, the definition of president is “chief executive”.
