"Experts didn't appear to be too concerned that Trump, known to use his smartphone to blast opponents, berate subordinates and take shots at the news media on Twitter, could abuse WEA."

A normal president would actually care about the rule of law and not want to abuse their power like that. Trump has shown repeatedly that he thinks that he's immune from it all and the aggregating as heck truth is that with the current balance of power all in the hands of Republicans who his and apparently Putin's butt kissers he probably is.

Hopefully he won't abuse it but I certainly wouldn't put it past him to do so given half a chance would any one else here?
