A fiery New York Times piece has claimed President Trump is clawing at the "conventional fabric of this country" and "may well become the first American king, lawless and unaccountable."
The piece, penned by columnist Charles Blow for the outlet's Sunday edition, issued the dire warning to readers amid the administration's ongoing battle with House Democrats in the aftermath of Special Counsel Robert Muellers report.
"We are drifting dangerously close to an imperial presidency that exists above and outside the rules we thought were designed to prevent such an occurrence," Blow wrote.
Blow backed his extreme warning by pointing to the letter from hundreds of former federal prosecutors, who said they believed Trump would have been indicted by Mueller for obstruction of justice if he weren't president.
"Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Muellers report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice," the prosecutors' statement read.
Blow said the "only avenue" for Congress is impeachment, but Republicans "have declared Trump their king and bowed to his maleficent majesty," while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., has been "overly cautious" of pursuing impeachment.
Blow said as the 2020 presidential election draws nearer, he fears Democrats will be more wary of impeaching Trump.
"Trump may well become the first American king, lawless and unaccountable, by default, by an overall political paralysis," he concluded.
The piece comes after a writer for the Times, which Trump often accuses of being biased against him, last month backed one of the president's signature policies -- his border wall.

King Donald great - build the wall
The ones with the most to hide are usually the most hysterical.
Charles Blow!
LOL, reminds me of that old joke:
A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent:
“You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No.”
He continued “Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No.”
“Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No.”
“But ya f*** one goat..”
“Blow backed his extreme warning by pointing to the letter from hundreds of former federal prosecutors, who said they believed Trump would have been indicted by Mueller for obstruction of justice if he weren’t president.”
Let me guess the [political persuasion of each and every one of these former federal prosecutors: Liberals and never-Trump types who read the law that way completely without bias, of course.
Yeah, that’s why the 9th circuit and other liberal judges are able to illegally thwart Trump’s agenda, because HE’S lawless.
FBI, DOJ, CIA, liberal judges, not lawless. Trump lawless.
In opposite world, which is where these creative writers posing as journalists are living in.
Giving weapons to mexican drug cartels so the ensuing slaughter could be used as propaganda to erode the 2nd Amend.
Illegally arming al queda and isis.
Waging illegal wars against countries that were helping us fight islamic terrorism.
Wholesale weaponization of federal agencies to spy on Americans and oppress constitutional rights.
Attempting to rig a presidential election.
Oh wait...never mind...
The closer we get to leftists getting indicted, the more shrill they become. Brace for the exploding heads.
If Charles Blow married his boyfriend, Jason Hard, his full name could be Charles Blow Hard, a true reporter’s name.
“:^)
We’re the furthest away from an “imperial presidency” with Trump than the nation has been since 1789. What are they smoking over at the Gray Lady?
sorta like globalists?
(Every liberal talking about Trump)
Charles Blow is a blowhard.
Deep State panic.
Never mind. It’s just another Blow job.
And the NYTwits will become cat litter liner and fish wrap. Because that’s about all they’re worth. When the newsprint this rag is printed on is more valuable than the words, you know you’re talking about the Slimes.
