Subject: Re: Trump orders DOJ to go after oil companies
The main thing he did differently was to decide to torch his relationship with every other power center in the government in favor of just doing what he wants. No past Presidents have done this, because they were all smart enough to realize the limitations of the office will render your Presidency very small if you try to go it completely alone.

I certainly hope you’re right. And I’ll even grant that chances are good that you are right.

But Donald Trump seems to be winding up for a major attempt to grab absolute power, and the only thing that will ensure his failure is to be ready for him, and to be aware that he’s not going to give up trying.
