Does the President have the power to make unilateral cash transfers to foreign entities?
-PJ
El Presidente has all the power he isn’t denied.
Every usurpation and act of tyranny establishes precedent.
We shall elect a despot in November. Perhaps follow-on despots will, like Venezuelan presidents, rely on elections to claim unlimited mandates from the people. So, in despotic nations, elections are pro-forma but necessary courtesies in which the outcome is known, yet the whole process has to have the aura of legitimacy.
If the immensely popular Trump magically loses, we’ll positively know that we’ve crossed the line into banana republic despotism. No rat will subsequently ever lose another “election.”
