My question is how could he?
What happens if President Trump abuses power? - CNN

The Professor asks what can be done if Trump abuses his power. I just can't imagine how he could? Will Federal Agents and contractors be able to monitor us at all hours? Yes, and they've been doing it for more than a decade. Can Trump order people kidnapped from nations around the globe and have them detained indefinitely? Yep. That is Rendition and it's also been going on.
That's the problem. There is almost nothing he can do short of declaring himself King that is an abuse of power beyond anything anyone else has done. Send Drones armed with missiles and bombs into nations without permission? No sweat. We've been doing that for a really long time. Perhaps he can manipulate the media. Wow that would be a first.
That is what is so funny. After fifteen years of justifying abuses and violations of Civil Rights now all of a sudden the danger of Trump abusing the power is terrifying.
It isn't the fear of his abusing the power. It's the fear that he will have the power. Power that no President should have ever had. Power that should have been opposed for the last fifteen years. Perhaps now the notion of limits on that kind of power will get some serious discussion.
