      No, it’s presidential actions, not personal ones. It’s being reported horribly because of the whole thing where everyone thinks that anyone not on their team is terrifying, so it justifies saying absolutely anything to try to win people over to their side.

        That’s so laughably easy to spin it’s not a distinction worth even noting. “Oh so-and-so is a clear and present danger to the country, so in my official capacity as protector of the Constitution of the United States I have ordered his termination”. Bam, it’s now an official act.

        I assure you that attempting to overturn a court and Congress certified vote of the people in order to retain power is a personal action, and not a presidential action. The president is to preserve democracy, not destroy it.
