Trump denies being a dictator, but claims ultimate authority
President Trump denies he’s a “dictator,” but he’s also claiming ultimate authority. At this week’s Cabinet meeting, the president declared that he has unlimited executive power. “I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the President of the United States,” he said.

Donald Trump has pushed the boundaries of presidential power during his second term through nearly 200 executive orders.
