Thank Dick Cheney, actually. It was he who pushed so hard for expanded executive privilege. Obama turned it into statecraft, and now it's sitting on a silver platter for Trump to troll the world with.
This administration is **** clearly deranged, and a very unhealthy cult of personality is becoming apparent. Trump has stepped in it every day in office so far.

Expect more of this-

He's already arrested three journalists who covered the protests on Friday, and they're being charged with felonies, and could be jailed for 10 years...
He's put a gag order on employees of the EPA and USDA (Environment, Agriculture) and National Parks Service.
