“That the President would assume that he could essentially demand or dictate to Congress that they [insert ridiculous demand here] is I think pretty much unprecedented.”
Save this. It will come in handy, probably on a daily basis.
He could use the authority he doesn’t know he already has to find out, but he wants to blow it up into a government-wide inquisition into Obama to keep the attention away from the ever-widening hole of the Russia scandal.
It’s perfectly understandable. As president, he’s the CEO. Congress, the judiciary, the cabinet, these are the various divisions and departments running the country. He’s in charge.
Why don’t we get that?

“There’s something deeply unserious about it, except for the fact that it’s coming from the President of the United States," he told TPM. "That’s not how it works, and that’s not how the system was designed.”
That not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. Do you know how any of this works, Mr. “President”?
A storyline that the Trump administration has repeatedly dismissed as “fake news.”
Or, as those without severe mental illness call it, “reality”.
He doesn’t understand or believe that he’s actually president!
“…GOP lawmakers at risk of looking “like tools of the Trump White House…” That does not seem to bother them.
Old Navy adage: “When there are problems on the deck, look to the bridge.”
Trump couldn’tpass a High School Government class
The gilded gelding!
Sometimes I look around my house and I really don’t know where my cat is.
I call upon Congress to investigate this matter urgently!
Limit of his power? Fuck that. It shows the limits of his knowledge and understanding of the government, its structure and organization, etc., and probably the limited nature of his mental health as well.
I’ve said all along he views congress as mid level managers. The sooner they all grow a pair and figure it out the better.
“As President, he can simply ask intelligence agencies to provide him with any national security information he wants to confirm, including any FISA warrant that may exist authorizing surveillance in his building.”
He must think Obama’s as stupid as he is.
I’m hearing Stephen Miller was one of the aides Trump reduced to sobs before he left Friday…
I hope so. What a sniveling little git.
Reports didn’t assign gender…
Miller probably doesn’t have genitals. Like a doll.
Imagine the can of whopass a 2018 congress run by dems could open with this invitation
tRUmp: I requested that the repube congress investigate this, not the dems
