Today's Exactly100: Ran for President, Became God

Trump ran for president but was imbued with Superpowers by a deceived electorate, a Republican-controlled Senate and House, and a Supreme Court stacked with his appointees. He began ruling like a king—dismantling safeguards, stripping security protections from political enemies, shutting down government agencies, and purging federal employees.

Three weeks in, and he is God: threatening to seize this country, this canal, coercing nations to take in Palestinians so he can own Gaza (yes, he said own), and halting enforcement of laws banning bribery of foreign officials.

In his words, “I am the Chosen One.” /Vincent R. Pozon
