What Makes Trump's Power Grab Different?

Last week, a federal court ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority in levying some tariffs, highlighting legal limits on presidential power.
This ruling took place amid Trump’s wider efforts, including his attempt to restrict flag burning even though the Supreme Court has affirmed its protection, highlighting his disregard for constitutional limits.
Trump has publicly denied being a dictator while simultaneously asserting he can do "whatever I want" as president and wanting people to treat him like a dictator.
He warned that if the ruling were to remain in effect, it would completely devastate the United States and lead to the immediate destruction of the military, using highly charged language to express his concerns.
Although many view Trump’s actions as authoritarian, historical precedent and executive order limitations suggest his power grabs lack lasting institutional effect beyond his presidency.
