The president is not a king. Trump doesn’t have the power to spend money that hasn’t been appropriated. He doesn’t have the power to suspend taxes. (And Obama didn’t have the power to do DACA.) If anyone has any doubt where this is headed, just think what the next democrat president will do with the precedent that Trump is creating.

You think they wouldn’t do it without “Trumps precedence” ?
They don’t need that and never did.
If we don’t win this election were screwed.

Actually, he does have the right to suspend taxes during a national emergency.

Congress bestowed that power to the Executive Branch when President Clinton was in office.
