That's fraud. I don't know what specific type of fraud but there's gotta be a word for it

This guy just calls everything an emergency so he gets unlimited power.
The Romans had a word for that: dictator

I really hate that people can't just use obvious sarcasm. But you're right, some finger wagging idiot wouldn't get it

Trump: So how is it called again?
Advisor: Emergency powers.
Trump: And it allows me to just ignore the constitution, habeas Corpus and the other branches of government?
Advisor: Well yes, but only in a state of emergency.
Trump: And who can declare a state of emergency?
Advisor: Well.. you?
Trump: Ok, ok, tell me again, but slower

Ah, one of the few times using the original, Drake template of this meme is both appropriate and in vogue.

I mean, this isn’t news. Him flat out saying that he does this shit might be news, but this is literally the only way he has ever operated and it was never a secret to anyone with at least a basic elementary level of education.

I was about to write "ahh, you didn't get me to bite this time, The Onion." because I thought the headline was just too outlandish. What the fuck!!
