Sir, this playbook was written by Obama...hence the ease in simply ordering or revoking Trump has done.

His strategy became "WE Cant Wait" and would by pass congress again and again.
I suggest you read this article from the NYT:
Shift on Executive Power Lets Obama Bypass Rivals

Stop trying to re-write history, Ive noticed this a lot lately...everything from somehow Trump was responsible for the Russia hacking during his own Election to comments like these.
Did people just blindly follow Obama without knowing what he was doing?

I'm referring to the volume sir. Obama might have started it as a response to Congress' unwillingness to do anything, but Trump doesn't have that excuse. He's treating the Presidency much like he did his business, where he's at the center of power and everything goes through him. He expects undying loyalty from everyone who works for the gov't, and rewards those that give itto him while blaming everything on those that don't.
If he loses next election and a Dem takes the seat again with a Republican majority in Congress, I expect the trend to continue.
