I'm reminded of a very prescient joke that Seth Meyers told on his show back in 2016 that we were about to elect our first woman president ever (Clinton), or our last president ever (Trump).

Very chilling what Trump is proposing here with being the sole authority. You know damn well he doesn't actually want to work or evaluate things on a case by case basis. This will be a stream of overlapping edicts, each one trying to undo the logical inconsistency of the last edict because he can't think through to the natural conclusion beyond his petty resentments.
