What's the difference between this self entitled democrat and the foreign Dictator now in the White House? Both either refuse to follow the laws of the land, or circumvent them all together. Today's unDemocratic form of government is no better than any dictatorial communist form of government. They say, it's our way or NO way, forget the Constitution, the Bill of Rights.
