    “The US separation of powers, a cornerstone of the Constitution, divides governmental authority into three distinct branches – legislative, executive, and judicial – with each branch having specific powers and responsibilities, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful”

    If the president is responsible for appointing judges, then the judiciary is not and never was a separate power. While it required a rather unlikely series of deaths and retirements, in close proximity, the judiciary is under trump’s control because he has control of the supreme Court having appointed several.
