The relevant takeaway from all of these posts is that, in America, elected officials should defer to duly empowered experts. If the experts screw up, there is a remedy, and we can emplace new experts. Countries where the imperial leader make decisions they’re not qualified to make — and we will leave aside what on earth THIS guy would actually be qualified to make — are called dictatorships ... or banana republics.
