Trump's disturbing abuses of power already include declaring faux national emergencies to get around laws and regulations that stand in his way. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-fires-17-independent-watchdogs-multiple-agencies-late/story?id=118097873
Besides abusing pardon powers to release all of the January 6 rioters, including seditious ones and leaders of violent militias, or trying to amend the constitution with an executive order to overturn birthright citizenship, Trump also has begun abusing power by declaring national emergencies to circumvent laws, court rulings, and administrative law. If he finds the rule of law a barrier to his plans, will he just declare some bogus national emergency to get around it? He is already done it with his two recent orders: "drill baby drill" to screw environmental laws and regulations and preparing to ignore federal posse comitatus laws to send active troops to the border to enforce US domestic laws. In both cases, the US does not need to drill for more oil because oil companies already have more oil than there are customers for it, and they hold 40 years' worth of leases with verified oil underneath that is yet to be drilled. Illegal border crossing due to Biden and Mexico is now 73% down in one year. Both "national emergencies are bogus, but his voters backed him as campaign promises they expected him to enact on day one. He and his ardent supporters dismissed facts and data that showed the improvement in the price of gas at the pump and the fear of more "dangerous" brown people populating America after he tanked a bi-partisan funding bill that would have finished the wall and funded personnel to catch more illegal border crossers.
