In despotic declaration, Trump senior advisor says Trumps power will not be questioned

http://shareblue.com/in-despotic-declaration-trump-senior-advisor-says-trumps-power-will-not-be-questioned/

The Trump administration held a media coming out party for senior policy advisor Stephen Miller, who went on four of the five Sunday shows to stonewall about the bombshell revelations involving Russia and the Trump administration. And in an even more ominous moment, Miller firmly declared that Donald Trump's power as the president is beyond question.

Miller also artlessly made it plain that the purpose of his visits was to shield Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Vice President Mike Pence from accountability for National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s lies about his contact with Russia.
There was one moment, though, which stood out for its shocking audacity: Miller explicitly told Face the Nation’s John Dickerson that Trump’s power exceeds that of the judiciary, the people of the United States, the free press, or anyone else. Miller railed against a “supreme” judicial branch in other television appearances, but on CBS, he made Trump’s despotic ambitions explicit (emphasis added):
"The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial, and will not be questioned."
