I started out wary of President Trump. I wasnt a supporter of his in the 2016 election, expect thing that really worried me was that he was a populist. The constitution seems designed to stop populists. Its fairly democratic in a lot of ways. The so i was worried when trump came in as a populist who wants to achieve an agenda that he feels he received a mandate for, that he would strain against or even go beyond the constitutional constraints of husband power.
