With Donald Trump there is one difference, and one reason the entire nation has 'earned' the right....even though the right doesn't have to be earned.
It is because he has the ability to send other people's children to war. Yes, the power to actually declare war belongs to Congress, but he has the power to mobilize troops.
I believe this extends to the 535 members of Congress as well, regardless of their party; they have the power to declare war.
