To the editor:
President Trump has taken the reins of power not only in the United States, but across the world. Recently he said, “I could run for President in Israel.”
He also said about the proposed Arc de Trump, “We don’t need anything from Congress.” That may aptly be called the motto of the second Trump administration. H
He has usurped Congress’ legislative power, its revenue raising power, its power to declare war, its power to reorganize the federal government, its power over treaties, its appropriations power and its oversight power.
All of that belongs to the Boss of the World now.
Recently he asserted immunity for himself and his family from IRS audits; set up a $1.8 billion dollar slush fund to provide restitution for aggrieved MAGA supporters; relaxed regulations on “super pollutant” hydrofluorocarbons (HCFs); and paused a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan after his visit to the man he calls the “great leader” of China.
The President is really on a roll, isn’t he?

Following his visit to the "great leader" Trump also more than doubled visas for Chinese students from 280,000 to 600,000 and will allow Chinese ownership of US farm land WITHOUT Congressional input or approval. I guess he's the boss of US universities and real estate as well.

Ms. Shinkoskey, lighten up! Isn’t it funny how everyone’s caught up in the Trump shuffle? It’s like a global dance craze with athletes, especially football players, after they score touchdowns. The Trump shuffle is best done to the rhythm of blues and rock and roll music. So, next time you see Mr. Trump with an executive order held high clutched in his right hand, get ready for something amazing. Because it is rumored that Donald Trump will be doing the Trump Shuffle wearing white gloves, in honor of Michael Jackson, and even doing his own version of Michael’s Moonwalk! And for an added attraction, when the Donald is dancing, he’ll be singing his version of Lee Greenwood’s, I’m Proud to be an American….to the beat of rock and roll….eating a jelly roll.
