“I haven’t heard from anybody who thinks this is a good idea.”

Trump: We’re building what we’re calling the Triumphant Arc. It’s like the Arc de Triomphe—the one you would probably know in Paris. This one is similar, slightly larger. We have to do slightly larger.

Reporter: Do you need congress to sign off on that?

Trump: No. We don’t need anything from Congress.
Three different statutes and the Constitution say otherwise.
Ross: The settlement is trying to cover up all of the misdeeds of his family, not just him. And he wants to pay insurrectionists who assaulted police officers. It’s essentially having your tax dollars go to fund his private militia.

MacFarlane: Have you heard from any Republicans who think this is a decent idea?

Ross: I haven’t heard from anybody who thinks it’s a good idea.
He's also a constitutional scholar. The number matters? Is this the 19th century? Or even pre-Holocaust America? (We taught the Nazis how to write eugenics laws. We weren’t as extreme, and we regretted it earlier.) 

Trump thinks he should be able to implement any idea he has. He doesn’t need Congress, he doesn’t need the Supreme Court, he doesn’t need the Constitution. I’m not saying that’s scary authoritarianism, and we should run in circles, scream and shout. I’m saying he’s completely unqualified, has no idea what the job is, and is wholly unfit for office.
