Nice graphic, there. Two dictators and a wannabe . . .

But I don't get it . . .

The founding fathers feared the power that a King or dictator could exert over their new country, so they drew up the Constitution.

Just two questions:

1. Is there anything in the Constitution that says a POTUS should act in the best interests of the people he oversees, and anything that potentially harms them could be met with a sound NO, or at least with a 'please explain your motivation'?

2. Executive Orders - What? Checks and balances out the window, giving the President King like powers? Wonder what the Founding Fathers would think of that?

Yes, I've Googled the history of Executive Orders, some good, some not so good.

The reality of this graphic is truly frightening, although trumps hands are too big.
