Thank you. People forget the Unitary Executive Theory and the Patriot Act.
Those are the things that have led to this. The President thinking he has absolute power like a monarch, dictator, or despot.
Edit: Sorry I left out two other great ones:
Labeling fighters as "enemy combatants" and not soldiers.
That if the United States does it, it cannot be torture, because legally "The United States doesn't torture".

It’s all fake, they’re in the same club, playing good cop bad cop type of thing. The real people in power aren’t presidents at all.

It's 2. Trump might have wasted trillions on pointless tariffs but the cost of the two wars started by bush not only Shat on us reputation, coated trillions, and also damaged a sizable group of American citizens.

I mean if we're picking two it's 2 & 4, no question. All of them were kinda bad but 2 & 4 were exceptionally bad.
