Trump, “checks and balances”.
Candidate Donald Trump demonstrated little regard for anyone or anything other than himself and what believed to be associated and favorable to himself; the president continues to behave and express himself in that same manner.
He’s chosen to disregard some of what’s evolved to be our nation’s traditional customs regarding elected officials and their appointees. Additionally, he’s (thus far) failed to comply to legally required procedures prescribed by our federal Constitution, statutes, and regulations.
Every U.S. president has at some point regretted our federal government’s “separation of powers”; every majority faction strives to overcome its hindrances to the enactments of their plans and goals. While minorities similarly strive to overcome such hindrances, they sometimes forget those obstacles to quicker transformations shields them from the “tyranny of the mobs”, (i.e. it permits minorities to exist and function).
Unless and until we devise a superior method, “separation of powers” enables our democracy to be sustainable. Our democracy’s strong but its critically dependence upon the aggregate sense of “we, the people of the United States” is a necessarily fragile link.
Due to “separation of powers”, we’ve never had and are unlikely to have or retain a government we deem to be inferior, (i.e. we’ve never had lesser government then we’ve deserved, but government no more superior than we deserve is conceivable).
