He doesn’t actually have the authority to do this.

Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to keep just more than [over] 600 essential workers at USAid, according to a notice sent to employees of the US foreign aid agency on Thursday night.

…

The USAid staff reductions are set to take effect at midnight on Friday, as indicated on the agency’s website. But a lawsuit filed on Thursday by the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) and the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) seeks to prevent the administration from dismantling USAid, which was established as an independent agency by a law passed by Congress in 1998.

And he can’t just crumple up and throw away a law passed by Congress. That’s not how any of this works. He’s not a dictator. He wants to be, but he isn’t one. The presidency is not a dictatorship.

Which means that if no one stops him we will be living under a dictatorship.

The unions claim that these actions are “unconstitutional and illegal” and have created a “global humanitarian crisis”. The lawsuit contends that the dissolution of USAid exceeds Trumps’s authority as president under the US constitution.

The plaintiffs are seeking both a temporary and a permanent court order to restore the agency’s funding, reopen its offices, and prevent further actions to dissolve the agency.

The “claim” is simply the truth. Trump is exceeding his powers, to put it mildly.
