Trump’s Upending Government: Constitutional or Not?

‘Trump’s actions, like them or not, can be seen as an application of a highly contested “unitary executive theory”—an expansive interpretation of presidential power that aims to centralize greater control over the government in the White House. Trump’s measures, however, reflect the constitutional philosophy of the Founding Father who effectively created the American system, Alexander Hamilton.’

According to statements from progressive media and politicians, Brussels could step in to replace USAID, continuing to fund actors that discredit sovereign governments and undermine their legitimacy.
