Partially. Following the story he sent a list of things he wanted to be included with the $2000 to the house and democrats of course ignored it. His real goal here is to repeal section 230 and end internet protections so he can sue the crap out of any site that bad mouths him. Trying to curry favour is just a happy bonus.

He really thinks he has some sort of power here. He’s already lost once with house republicans voting to override his defence bill veto. The idea of him going “full tyrant” is hysterical fear mongering at this point. It looks like his underlings are turning away from him as they flee the sinking ship. If anything we’ve got about three weeks of insane #### and real tests of if there are any checks and balances on executive power.
