    Was reading this. Would figure the President would have the power but wouldn’t he surround himself with advisors? Seems very short sighted.

    It’s like his Tweets, figured presidents had writers for speeches and press releases but he seems very rogue. Figured every morning his staff come in wondering how to fix his Tweet from midnight the day before.

    Didn't Lincoln surrounded himself with advisors from opposition, like his biggest political enemies , as a sign that it's really not about us, but what is the best for US.

    The President has unchecked, massive power. In addition, sitting presidents are above the law.
