    Donald Trump became president four months ago with roughly the same
    idea. In the Trump universe, he had been judge, jury and executioner.
    He saw no reason why that would change.

    Trump had no knowledge of, or interest in, the checks and balances
    enshrined in the Constitution. Circumscribed power was for losers, a
    category of humanity for which he reserves his greatest disdain. Just
    this week, after passing along classified information about the
    Islamic State to Russia, and so jeopardizing an ally's intelligence
    asset, Trump tweeted that he had the "absolute right" to do so.

    Trump doesn't care what the Constitution reads

    His MO, and his history is about pushing the envelope's boundaries.

    When will the Rs give him the boot, is the question.
