    Because when you’re a dictator they let you do it.

    Seriously, that’s literally the reason: because between SCOTUS abdicating its power in Trump v. United States and Congress abdicating its power by the Republican majority refusing to impeach, Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants, no matter how illegal, and there’s nobody willing and able to stop him.

      Yep, this is it. One person can do to because they’ve allowed him to do it. It’s that simple.
