Trump is not the first president to defy Congress. A struggle for power has been playing out since the nation’s founding — as its framers intended.

The president bets that a booming economy, a beefed-up military, and U.S. energy dominance will deter enemies without the need for preemptive invasions.

And the media and the bipartisan foreign-policy establishment are with them every step of the way.
