>He's vocally questioned if the democrats are "traitors" during public speeches[0], a wild accusation even for US political discourse. Spare me. How many people have said he should be investigated for being a Russian plant? Every one of those people is questioning if his loyalty is with Russia, or in other words if he is a traitor. >Today, he proclaimed in a speech that Article 2 of the US constitution gives him the right to do whatever he wants[1] You are interpreting his remarks as uncharitably as possible. He's not claiming he has absolute power, he's claiming that he can do whatever he wants to do that the president has the authority to do without asking anyone else first. There is nothing in Article 2 saying the president needs to get permission from someone else before exercising the powers vested in him. That's all he's saying. The context is that he's saying he could have fired Mueller if he wanted to, without asking anyone for permission.
