Trump’s Favorite Presidential Powers

August 17, 2018 at 7:29 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Four sources close to President Trump tell Axios that the revocation of former CIA Director John Brennan’s clearance “belongs in the same category as the president’s love of the pardon power and the signing of executive orders.”

“It’s a power that is uniquely and solely his, and matches his idea of how the presidency ought to be: pure power and instant gratification.”

Said one source: “What he enjoys most about this job is finding things he has absolute power over. He got a kick out of pardons, that he could pardon anybody he wants and people would come to him to court him and beg him.”
