Bad faith

Finally we hear on the higher channels one of the most important lessons of this presidency: we can no longer rely on good sense and good faith of our president to follow norms. More than that, ignorance of the Constitution - willful and otherwise - leads to dangerous and erroneous statements that, if turned into policy and action, could take us down a road toward tyranny. Just one example, the president has invoked emergency authority that is way out of bounds when considering Congress' intent, and any reasonable interpretation of the situation - like the tariff actions against China. One more thing: the Congress is dysfunctional and therefore unable to restrain the president, and enforce the letter and spirit of laws and norms. Folks, our government is not working!
