        Where does he think these laws originate? Does he not realize that men write laws?

        Um. That's not why I highlighted that. The idea that we are a nation of laws, not men, comes from democracy as opposed to monarchy.

        It is, however, unusual a president who regularly questions the judiciary, our constitutional processes, and the laws would state that.

        Is this all @realdonaldtrump can do? proclaim a day, sign and EO and golf?

        Look at the bright side: the more time he spends playing golf, the less time he spends being president.

        Either he is the all-time consummate liar, or he is completely disconnected from the reality of his previous words and actions. Or both.

        He writes about separation of powers...more lip service to liberty. I'll be damned if he's the one to prove Reagan's quote prophetic.

        @realDonaldTrump you should read this very closely. If you do, you might understand why you can't have your way all the time. Sep of powers
