So, if I'm reading this correctly:

By his own decree; The President has supreme power over every single government office, and has the power to unilaterally change/create/remove all of them at will with no oversite.

Any/all federal publications or regulatory actions must be approved by the:

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register.

No oversite, no external regulatory bodies, no checks and balances; just what Trump says goes....

Yes, I got to the same just by reading the tweet. Imagine voting for a king in the 21st century. What a fucking to be alive.
