Unless House/Senate Republicans stand up to Trump, he can do pretty much what he wants.
Really? Do you really believe that?
Indeed, the statement should be reversed.
No, my point was that to believe Trump would ever be in a position where he can do whatever he wants assumes our system of checks and balances doesn't exist. This view ignorantly ascribes an erroneously large amount of power to the executive branch, power which it simply doesn't have. This is simple 8th grade civics!
I phrased it badly and exaggerated it. Certainly, Trump can't do
anything because there are limitations of the executive branch. My point is that liberals/Democrats have limited checks over Trump.
