The power of the Trump is known -- and it extends far beyond his constitutional powers as chief executive of the greatest land of all.

He showed it yesterday by tweeting, "Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad.
