With a simple pen and phone, President Obama created government by executive action.

From DACA to the Iran deal and Paris climate accord, President Obama bypassed congressional oversight, becoming Emperor Obama, which brought us the Trump presidency.

Will the media succeed in destroying President Trump, or will we return to civility and compromise in government?

My bet is divisiveness and the socialists win, and democracy in America fades into the sunset.

The masses will control government through social media, and justice through mob rule will be the norm.
