Trump: "I'm actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country."
Reality: Bill Barr, the Attorney General, is the top law enforcement officer of the country. Per the Constitution, a President has ZERO law enforcement power. As the head of the executive branch, it's the President's job to implement the laws, not enforce them. Thus, Trump's claims reveal what anyone paying attention already knows: Trump believes that his power is truly unlimited.
If Bill Barr fails to resign in protest to this and the other efforts by Trump to usurp his power, then he has proved himself to be nothing more than Trump's lapdog.
