can you qualify these strong assertions? “plainly obvious for everyone to see” isn’t a convincing instrument. The role and powers bestowed on the President are set in the US Constitution.

1) There is considerable disagreement about the scope and nature of the presidency. The constitution doesn't make everything super clear. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_executive_theory

2) Trump's authoritarian interpretation of these powers is pretty obvious and not really controversial. I think this is an obvious fact that requires little explanation.
