relative to putting opponents in jail. Trump is trying to use powers he doesn't have!

And isn't that what Trump did with the insurrection? He couldn't convince voters to re-elect him, so he tried to use powers he didn't have to stay in office by inciting violent mobs against the national legislature. He used others to do his bidding.

And isn't that what Trump is trying to do with DOGE - Eloon and Vivek? Using them to try to use powers he doesn't have - to obliterate the budget and steal benefits from working people.

And isn't that what Trump tried to do in Ukraine when he was trying to find someone to manufacture dirt on Joe Biden? Using Giuliani to dirty up Biden because he doesn't have the power to prosecute Biden for imaginary crimes.

Trump continually tries to create fake realities to justify imaginary powers he would like to have but doesn't, all the while screaming about fake news, corrupt journalists. The projection is thick. Someone should hand him a mirror.
