Well I guess our House of Lords comes pretty close. But yes, at the moment the US wins. No question.

So much for the nation that whose creation was all about getting away from kings and aristocracy.
Trump is pretty much saying a modern version of "off with their heads!" and the system is not set up to stop it.

It’s amazing there’s no counterbalance to a deranged President

It is a perfect example of why popularly elected heads of state is a very bad idea.

That's my question. Are there no controls? Does he just get free rein and does what he likes? Isn't that called a Dictatorship? Come on America step up here.....the world is watching
