You're not going to be a dictator, are you?

I said, no, no, no, other than day one.

How did Donald Trump turn the presidency into a king?

Well, it didn't start with him.

It was the goal of a decades-long master plan.

When the president does it, it is not illegal.

Where they won't act, I will.

I'm David Sirota from The Lever.

On our new season of the award-winning Master Plan podcast, we uncover the stealth plot to create an all-powerful president, or as some call it... A unitary executive.

A unitary executive.

Our journalists reveal the hidden scheme to eliminate checks and balances, crush democracy, and turn government by the people into government by one man.

I have the right to do whatever I want as president.
