Donald Trump’s efforts to consolidate power in his own hands and make the Executive Branch superior and above the Legislative and Judicial Branches of government.

People with good intentions are going to say it because they’re scared, and rightfully they have every reason to be afraid. But also people with bad intentions are going to say those things. And so I want everyone to look at the people who are quitting around him and know why they’re doing that.
