That's exactly it. Everyone cheers it when it's their guy, without realizing that a relatively weak executive branch is one of the best safeguards we have against tyranny. Expanding that power sounds great for now, but if Trump takes office again, do we want him having the power to spend on whatever he wants without congressional approval?

Every time I leave my house, I see dozens of Teslas driving around. If they're not profitable, then they're horrifically bad at making money. They're ubiquitous. Pretty impressive market penetration for a business run by people who don't know what they're doing.

I think what the other user is asking is, have any of his rooms gone differently than you'd expect from someone with his constitutional philosophy. Saying, "He ruled in favor of a friend," is significantly different than, "He ruled in favor of a friend with a ruling that's very out of the norm for how he typically rules."
