I think Donald Trump is opposed to being Commander and Chief. He isn't interested in war and one of the reasons he invited and welcomed Russia interference is to allow other governments to decide about war.
Donald Trump is an overt liar. He doesn't care about loyalty to the people that elected him. There is nothing anyone can trust. He is gradually talking to lull the American people asleep. He doesn't feel any responsibility to the American people in disclosing his tax returns and now he is continuing the assault against the American conscience.
There is a movement within the Republican Party to remove the responsibilities of the Commander and Chief from the president. There are Republicans that want a cabinet level position that assigns all war decisions to someone without Oval Office power.
There is a reason American wars are now funded through OCO today. The wars the USA is now fighting is done so without any legislative approval. One of the most coveted capacity of the USA is it's military. Setting it aside from the constitution to be carried out without the legislature is resulting in unstoppable illegal and immoral wars that will last decades and generations. OCO funding removes the consent of the people and military men and women are being sent into battle to die (ie: recent American death in Syria) without the consent of the people through their legislature.
Donald Trump is not providing the responsibility to the country demanded by the USA Constitution. He is not an equal to Hillary Clinton. I believe him to be subversive and will carry out executive orders that will end the USA government as it is known today. I also expect votes to repeal not just the ACA, but, constitutional amendments. It is nearly impossible to carry out amendment repeals without the majority of federal legislators in lock step with that ideology, but, there is ever reason to believe there is a coup in the making and the American people will be asleep until it is too late.
Two to four years is a lot of sleep. The American people elected a radical. They need to pay attention to his priorities and actions.
One other thing, I really am disappointed in editorials that are this simple and insult my intelligence.
This is a hideous graph. It states OCO funds are separate from that of the USA miltiary.There is no OCO military. OCO funds ADDS to the capacity of the USA military. OCO funds does not limit the military and it's missions, it gives the military to proceed without the knowledge of the American people.
It is interesting to realize government leaks are entertained by the media, but, policing OCO and military missions is in the back pages and/or not at all.
Coups are carried out by generals.
Moralizing by the media to enter war, as occurred in Libya, is not going change my mind. The Libya episode only shows the American people are sheep. Where is the next cliff?

...Imagine further that Clinton (click here) blithely dismissed these intelligence conclusions while putting people with close ties to this hostile government in key national security posts.
Republicans would be apoplectic.
In fact, there is a clear record of GOP outrage over far less troubling behavior on Clinton’s part. Republicans saw foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation as a serious national security concern.
They also vilified her for not heeding warnings about the vulnerability of the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, that was attacked by terrorists in 2012.
Now the same public that was whipped into a frenzy over Clinton is expected to passively accept Trump’s behavior?....
