      And not because Trump is superhuman or something like that. It’s purely because american institutions and laws have nothing to stop his actions and the system only worked as it did due to gentlemen’s agreements that were in place by the so-called “establishment”. The president has way too much power in the USA and the naivety of US institutions in just hoping presidents would be decent is absolutely laughable.

      No wonder the one time the US tried to export its governance model, it failed miserably (Liberia)
