The President of the United States, as the head of the Executive branch of government, is given a fairly broad range of authority. One of those is the ability to issue Executive Orders.
So lets compare:
Bill Clinton issued 364 EO's
Barack Obama issued 276 EO's
Donald Trump issued 151 EO's
I'd say by comparison the Democrats have out done themselves.
So the next time you want to talk about Trump as a, "dictator or king" at least be objective..
And the Republicans don't care. They wouldn't let Obama appoint anyone when he was a lame duck president but they'll let Trump do anything. We are living in dangerous times. If you want to know what it feels like to live in a country ruled by religion, you are seeing it. RIP America 1776-2020
Well said. We are a Republic, not a monarchy. Trump now threatens to dismiss Congress because his appointments are not being approved. Dismissing Congress will in fact make him a King.

If you don't like Trump's incompetence and his mismanagement of our nation, then you must speak out or you are part of the problem.

Sorry Donald - no dictatorship for you. Thank God.
