By his behavior you can understand. Trump just refused to implement sanctions against Russia passed by both the House and the Senate almost unanimously as a punishment for Russian interference in the elections of 2016. This is a violation of his executive duties. Congress is the Legislative Branch - they write the laws - and the President leads the Executive Branch - he executes the laws. Except, this tyrant in training has decided he doesn't have to.
Why?
Pretty straightforward, it seems to me - because Trump can't impose sanctions on Russia because Russia and Trump have conspired in the Russian interference in the election of 2016, and Russia owns Trump - some form of blackmail that Russia has on him, or they can bankrupt him or cost him billions by demanding payment on massive debts he owes Russia or Russians.
Where is the Republican Party? Where is the Republican controlled Congress? Have they no decency? no honor? no conscience? no outrage at the usurpation of their own powers? Our democracy is crumbling and the elected Republicans are complicit.
The United State is supposed to be about the rule of law, not the rule of tyrants. The Republican Party has lost its way.
The astonishing thing to me is that some of my conservative friends voted for Trump because they thought Hillary was too corrupt. But the depths of depraved corruption of this nitwit has never been seen before in my lifetime, and I am pretty old.
