1) This is the executive order that establishes Trump as dictator. It’s also how Trump is going to get around the court orders and defy them. By forcing federal employees to do it or be fired. So now the president alone interprets law. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s begin⬇️

2) “The President and the Attorney General, SUBJECT TO THE PRESIDENT’S SUPERVISION AND CONTROL, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law…” This means the AG is a puppet. The president alone interprets law. This is unconstitutional. Let’s continue⬇️

3) The President’s opinions on questions of law are “controlling on all employees” in all official duties. No employee can do anything that contradicts the President. But the most dangerous provision is the last one circled there. Let’s continue⬇️

4) Circled there: “positions advanced in litigation”. That means court orders, restraining orders, and precedents set by courts previously. No federal employee can refuse to obey the president even if a federal court orders them not to obey the president. Let’s continue⬇️

5) The executive order was preceded by this fact sheet. Probably to see what the immediate reaction would be to the executive order. Let’s continue⬇️

6) The fact sheet summarizes what the executive order says, which is circled there. The president interprets the law all by himself. The AG is a puppet of the president. Look at one agency they mention, which is circled there. And why is that important? Let’s continue⬇️

7) Trump obviously wants to do this, hence the mention of the FCC. Trump needs to control the news so all that will be said is pro-Trump propaganda which will also create a false majority in favor of everything he does. But there’s something worse already. Let’s continue⬇️

8) When you do a Google search to find out if the president or AG can interpret law, it takes you immediately to Trump’s order first! Not to the Constitution! And this wasn’t the case prior to the order. So it appears there’s already something going here. Let’s continue⬇️

9) Previous to the order, when you searched for these topics, things like this came up. Not an order from the president. Here you see that the president is NOT the final authority on the law. Let’s keep going⬇️

10) As we see here, the judicial branch interprets the law. Not the president. Now, this led me to further investigation. And what’s going on is very interesting. Let’s continue⬇️

11) I did a search for “Does Constitution say president interprets laws?” And AI took me to this. Where does AI get this information? Let’s see that next⬇️

12) It’s getting that from Trump’s order! This is very strange. Basically, Trump is redefining the entire structure of the US Constitutional and political landscape and something in the information world is going along with it. Let’s continue⬇️

13) Compare the language of Trump’s executive order with that of the AI overview I showed above. While they’re not identical, you can see striking similarities. But what I found next is very interesting. Let’s continue⬇️

14) The search turned this up and we see two competing narratives. The top one is, of course, Trump’s order. The bottom one says, no, the judicial branch interprets law. So now let’s see that next⬇️

15) See this? The president ENFORCES law, he does not INTERPRET law. But what we’re seeing is, somehow, the information world is rapidly moving toward the Trump order which says the president interprets law and is the sole authority to do that. Let’s continue⬇️

16) You now have this guy saying any federal employee who violates an executive order will be fired. That now means employees must obey the president and not court orders that say the executive order is unconstitutional and should not be followed. And why?

17) Because Trump now interprets the law, and not the judicial branch. We are now in a Constitutional crisis. What? You need more evidence? Fine. Let’s return to this next point⬇️

18) It’s here. “Positions advanced in litigation” are the court orders that stop Trump’s executive orders. “Positions advanced in litigation” is the entire judicial branch of government! Trump has just said his interpretation of law is the sole authority. And also⬇️

19) Of course, they will follow the court orders they like. But look at the photo on the right. What do you see as the message in that? What happens if an executive order makes this man more than he is? What we’re seeing is a coup. We’re beyond a mere Constitutional crisis.

20) He literally told everyone he was going to do this. But there’s more to this. This whole mass firing of the federal government workforce? The executive orders demanding loyalty of employees? The move to impeach judges trying to stop it? And everything else? Let’s continue⬇️

21) This is already happening with the mass firings of federal employees. Let’s continue⬇️

22) This is already happening with the move to impeach federal judges who are trying to stop Trump. Let’s continue⬇️

23) This will happen when Trump takes control of the FCC. He already started this when he took over the Kennedy Center so it will only show venues that he wants. Which will be his own cultural propaganda. Let’s continue⬇️

24) This is what Trump wants to do. Let’s continue⬇️

25) This is what’s being done in trying to impeach federal judges. And boosting the federal judges that rule in favor of Trump. Let’s continue⬇️

26) And here is where we are headed if Trump continues removing the power of the judiciary. There’s obviously several people behind Trump who have planned this. I would say it’s Heritage Foundation, who got this from Viktor Orban and Danube Institute. So knowing all this⬇️

27) The people writing the executive orders are the people behind Trump. Notice how he’s handed them and told what they are. That means it’s not just Trump, but those people, VP, the entire Trump admin, GOP Congress, and SCOTUS involved in this coup.

28) Oh, and all of this includes the Federal Election Commission. They have to do whatever Trump tells them.
