POTUS vs. The Courts?

It’s no secret that Twitter is President Trump’s beloved approach to communicating with the world, and in recent news, he did just that in an effort to attack the man who thwarted his travel ban. @realDonaldTrump “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” (04 Feb 2017, 5:12 AM). In an article written by Dean Obeidallah and published by CNN, the author analyzes the bountiful ways in which this particular tweet has been titled “bone-chilling” by many. It isn’t the idea that the President of the United States took to Twitter to confront opposition, but rather the idea that the very principle of his argument delegitimizes our country’s judicial system. It’s worrisome to Americans that their president is now discrediting the courts in an effort to have absolute power over the goings-on in the country… similar to a dictatorship, if you will. Aside from the courts, Trump has attacked the media as well as intelligence agencies whenever their views conflict with his. Clearly the President believes spoiling their credibility will make him appear to be more credible to the people. Will our president continue to fight the separation of powers that our founding fathers envisioned for the American government?
