The article doesn't demonstrate Obama stealing Congress's power of the purse. Can you show me an example?
I'm quibbling with implications of "there's nothing new, they're both the same".
In the article he can sign an executive order to make college more affordable, but this is using Congress's budget allocation, and powers provided for the department of education though is it not?
Trump is literally dismantling departments approved by Congress, and using the budget in completely different areas as far as I can tell. He's not simply redirecting what X department should be doing, as compared to Obama.

Can you expand on this?
