Donald Trump: Defender of Presidential Power

In "Defender in Chief," renowned constitutional expert John Yoo presents a compelling argument against the alleged violations of constitutional norms by Donald Trump. Yoo asserts that Trump is not tearing apart the Constitution - he is, in fact, its staunchest defender.

It's no secret that many liberals and even some average conservatives view Donald Trump as a threat to the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution. Mainstream media outlets have highlighted numerous instances of alleged government overreach and authoritarian decisions coming from the White House throughout his presidency. In the 2020 primaries, candidates have been quick to accuse Trump of undermining our democracy and putting our nation's future at risk.

In his defense of Donald Trump, Yoo argues against the belief that Trump poses a threat to our nation's founding principles. Instead, Yoo suggests that historical figures like Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton would have viewed Trump as embodying their vision of presidential power, even amidst controversy. Yoo contends that it is actually liberal opponents who risk undermining the current constitutional framework in their efforts to remove Trump from office. By doing so, they could cause lasting harm to the presidency, a cornerstone of our constitutional system and global governance.

This provocative and fascinating work is a compelling protection of an embattled president’s concepts and actions.
