I just read that Trump had been complaining about his treatment by '60 Minutes,' the CBS news show, and managed to apply sufficient pressure on its parent company to get its managing producer (or someone with a similar title) to be forced to resign. This is typical of Trump. For centuries, we've had governments with few or no complaints about undue pressure from the White House. That record stops with Trump.
Of course, during a war, the President (the Administration) by-passes Congressional approval to influence the course of the war; we're accustomed to that. Nixon, to some extent, used unscrupulous actions to influence public opinion. So Trump isn't the first, really, to do this.
Soon the populations of the countries that are the major sources of unwelcome immigrants are going to realize that the USA is not a desirable destination.
