        (1) This is really great.Also reminds me when someone suggests we have a failing constitutional system due to Trump.On the contrary,its continued efficacy has revealed itself even more.Checks continue to check and procedure continues to process, independently of his incompetence.

        (2) though I do wish Congress would actually stop abdictating the extent of its Constitutional authority in favor of either excessive executive reliance or excessive executive blaming.

        "Stealthy execution would be much scarier than this ham-fisted display of power." So very true. #TrumpIsSoIncompetent

        Catch and Release: can’t we release with ankle bracelets or something until they return for court? Its how we keep non-violent citizens out of jail. And it’s got to be cheaper...right?

        Good point, Matt. Incompetence mixed with crass ignorance plus a large pinch of self-serving delusions add up to a wicked cocktail.

        Love the piece. Scary notion regarding "what if" he was competent! Whatz up with the black crayon being worn down? Sign of all POTUS's Exec Orders and then the workarounds?

        Good article!! Trump might be more incompetent because his end result is always for himself. He’s desperate to build that wall so his base will worship him even more. Me, me, me

        The only shocking thing 17 months into his presidency is that they haven’t backed away from the sledgehammer technique. They continue to pound the hammer. Is it pride, ignorance or both? Maybe you can’t teach an old dog new tricks...

        But that just may be the irony. If Trump were competent, divisive, and vitriolic, it's possible he'd be ignored. People want to see the themselves in him I suppose. Bizarre!

        My biggest fear is that he paved the way for someone just as interested in authoritarian rule but infinitely more competent. Likely to come from the left as all the moves will look friendlier than Trumps.

        My plan, vote for my choice for president and then vote the opposition party the rest of the way. Divided government may not be the most productive, but it will keep our democracy safe.

        Used to agree until he had children seperated from parents with no plan for re-uniting.
