"A month in, and it is clear even to conservatives that US President Donald
Trump is attempting to fundamentally reshape the role of the American
president.
Trump and his supporters sees the natural authority of the American president
in broad terms, similar to those of the Russian president, or a king. Trump, in
fact, has already likened himself to a king.
This desire to “Russify” the presidency is not an accident: Trump and many of
his supporters admire the king-like power that Vladimir Putin exercises as
Russian president.
Understanding how Trump is attempting to transform presidential power is key to
mobilising in the most effective way to stop it."
