Right on the nail. People always act like the president has dictatorial powers to do anything they want. There are too many idiots on social media who smugly reply to his (or other world leaders’) posts when he says something like “we should do more to protect the environment” and they reply “wElL aReNt You ThE GuY iN chArge??”
I think that’s the appeal of Trump. He’s gonna be dictator for a day. That sounds like code for “I’m gonna rewrite the Constitution to make everything I do legal and be president forever.”
The irony being, at least, in the US, is that Trump did halt something similar - Aid to Ukraine. (which is partly why they’re in this mess. and partly why Putin invaded when Trump lost re-election basically immediately.)

Yes… but he’s Joe Biden, not Julius Caesar.
