Trump May Be The First President-Elect To Not Submit A Budget [View all]

The overarching theme of the incoming administration seems to be this: We know rather well that we'd breaking well-established norms by (fill in the blank), but it's not illegal. Since Cheeto Mussolini doesn't care about precedent, or respecting the norms, or the Office of the Presidency, absolutely everything he does is simply to enrich himself and the Republicans with whom he is in collusion. This is, without a doubt, perpetrating the biggest robbery of the American people ever conceived.

Meanwhile, His Orangeness will demand and receive adulation for the continued success of his predecessor, President Obama. There's no question that this president-elect will be riding the coattails of a real, competent president. Trump's Republican faithful sycophants and poorly educated followers won't have a clue that he is obliterating the most treasured institutions our Founding Fathers established. Not that it matters in the end, but we have to witness this atrocity as he gives us a smirk and an unusually stubby middle finger.

Dear leader-elect's likely action of not sending a budget to Congress isn't illegal, but it would certainly be unprecedented.
