Trump--as egged on by Bannon--has very little use for the other two branches

Even if they are Republicans or conservatives they're still hinderances to whatever he sees as his God willed agenda.

If Trump, by help of Bannon, could rule by royal fiat, he most certainly would. And not like we couldn't see him trying just that.

can do very much. If Trump writes off Congress, he'll have little to do but lie on his back and kick futilely in a useless tantrum.

The legislative branch and judicial branch take great pride in their power, Mr. Trump. They know, from experience and from actually having read the Constitution, that they are each the equal of the executive branch. Perhaps you'll be in the White House long enough to learn more about the power they have. Or, perhaps not...

I agree that 45 didn't/doesn't understand the Power of the Speaker of the House, but I'm not sure he will ever learn.

He's playing everyone against everyone else. He will be gleeful if government shuts down. Look at the state dept.

Only cure: independent Russia investigation NOW. Get him the hell out of the WH before he starts a war as his greatest diversion.
