He is breaking the government and the Republican party are helping him...they are enjoying putting the country's health, security and economy at risk!

They hate America, and they're supporters better wake up quick, or they won't have a country.

system. It's a one way deal where he can make pronouncements to every single employee of the government and they have no say whatsoever in what is happening. He can cancel agencies, close offices, fire people, probably he'll eventually ask workers to snitch on each other for lack of fealty to the King. It would be funny if it weren't so frightening and nauseating.

I heard him today toying with the thought of eliminating FEMA. He's already pulled out of the WHO and the Paris Climate thing. He will likely pull out of NATO or reduce US participation. He's ordered HHS to halt communications with the public. None of those will have a useful or positive outcome.

He may succeed at taking semi-autocratic control of the Executive Branch but I can't see the Legislative Branch or the Courts allowing him to manage a King's status of authority. We've already seen some push-back in that respect.

At least, I don't think he can accomplish it in 100 days or even 730 days...
