Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.”
When we say "No Kings," this is why.

But experts caution that a number of realities are likely to make this oil revolution much harder to execute than Trump seems to think.
