Despite the Hysteria, Trump Is Trending Less Authoritarian Than Obama

Trump is far more authoritarian than Obama, as any common sense thinking person knows.

Yeah...except he isn't......but nice lie....

Trump is far more authoritarian than Obama, as any common sense thinking person knows.

And here are a few examples where obama was the authoritarian....and Trump decided not to be......

Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, a man known not just for his intellect and integrity but also for his powerful legal argument against executive-branch overreach. Based on his previous legal writings, if Gorsuch had his way, the federal bureaucracy could well face the most dramatic check on its authority since the early days of the New Deal. By overturning judicial precedents that currently require judicial deference to agency legal interpretations, the Court could put a stop to the current practice of presidents and bureaucrats steadily (and vastly) expanding their powers by constantly broadening their interpretations of existing legal statutes.

For example, the EPA has dramatically expanded its control over the American economy even without Congress passing significant new environmental legislation. Instead, the EPA keeps revising its interpretation of decades-old statutes like the Clean Air Act, using those new interpretations to enact a host of comprehensive new regulations. If Gorsuch’s argument wins the day, the legislative branch would be forced to step up at the expense of the executive, no matter how “authoritarian” a president tried to be.



Trump nominated H. R. McMaster to replace Michael Flynn as his national-security adviser. McMaster made his name as a warrior on battlefields in the Gulf War and the Iraq War, but he made his name as a scholar by writing a book, Dereliction of Duty, that strongly condemned Vietnam-era generals for simply rolling over in the face of Johnson-administration blunders and excesses. In his view, military leaders owe their civilian commander in chief honest and courageous counsel — even when a president may not want to hear their words.


When the Ninth Circuit blocked Trump’s immigration executive order (which was certainly an aggressive assertion of presidential power), he responded differently from the Obama administration when it faced similar judicial setbacks. Rather than race to the Supreme Court in the attempt to expand presidential authority, it backed up (yes, amid considerable presidential bluster) and told the Ninth Circuit that it intends to rewrite and rework the order to address the most serious judicial concerns and roll back its scope.

And these are just a few of obama's authoritarian actions...

Obama exercised his so-called prosecutorial discretion not just to waive compliance with laws passed by Congress (think of his numerous unilateral delays and waivers of Obamacare deadlines) but also to create entirely new immigration programs such as DACA and DAPA. He sought to roll back First Amendment protections for political speech (through his relentless attacks on Citizens United), tried to force nuns to facilitate access to birth control, and he even tried to inject federal agencies like the Equality Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) into the pastor-selection process, a move blocked by a unanimous Supreme Court. In foreign policy, he waged war without congressional approval and circumvented the Constitution’s treaty provisions to strike a dreadful and consequential deal with Iran.

Obie ramming his healthcare insurance down our throats was about as totalitarian as it gets.

Your Alt Right falsehoods are noted, 2aguy.

Trump is president, not Obama, and he is not going to get the authoritarian process or product he so desperately wants.

Yes....for all the whiny ass left wingers out there...Trump is less Authoritarian so far than obama....remember...the authoritarian wants a bigger government, and works to increase it's size and reach into your life....Trump....is doing less of that...

I think you have your definitions confused. Authoritarianism refers to strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom. It's not necessarily a reference to the size of government.

And just this morning Trump announced he is returning much to the states for they know better than the Feds on many of their issues, as it should be. Less authoritative.

It's a nice spin but not quite hitting the mark. He is doing both, reducing government. It also demanding stricter obedience to authority. And since we are talking about personal freedoms a case can be made that some of the deregulating he is doing is allowing private business to have more control over our personal freedoms.

While I'm in favor of smaller government and less regulation in some areas, it is pretty obvious that Trump is an authoritarian figure.

Ah, you do not know what is "authoritarian." It does not refer to government size.

It means strict obedience to Herr Trump, don't you know.
