Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order expanding presidential control over independent agencies, including the FTC, FCC, and SEC.

The order enforces the “unitary executive theory,” which argues the president has sole authority over the executive branch. It grants Trump’s budget chief, Russell Vought, oversight of these agencies’ performance and budgets.

The move is expected to face legal challenges, as past presidents have largely respected agency independence.

Trump defended the order, stating, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

    Can’t think of a non-violent way for the US to get out of this.

      I can’t either. Seriously, if anyone has ideas I would like to hear them. The courts will smack him down but the Supreme Court probably will not, which just cements the dictatorship legally.

      It will take massive protests and unrest.
