Trump’s Upending Government: Constitutional or Not?

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.
