Rub a Dub: Trump is stating that he will dictate when the States can open up again.
That’s the point. We have a thing called the US Constitution which made one point exceptionally clear: We do not want a king ruling over us, or any other title you want to give a dictator. The whole point of having three separate, but coequal branches of government serving as a system of checks and balances was to prevent any one person or group from becoming too powerful.
Although in practice, it doesn’t work out as smoothly as it could or should, Trump’s recent comments about having “absolute authority” are not only wrong, but they are deeply disturbing and offensive to anyone that respects what the framers of the Constitution intended, particularly in light of the historical context in which they drafted it.
China would never accept that. If they want to get something done on a national level, it is dictated from the top.
Again, you’re proving my point. I certainly wouldn’t want to live in China or in any country with that type of oppressive, authoritarian regime.
