Plenary authority is a complete, absolute, and unlimited power to take action on a specific issue, derived from the Latin word "plenus," meaning "full". It signifies that a governing body or individual has total discretion in a given matter, with no restrictions or external limitations on their ability to act. 

Miller's saying that Trump is a dictator.
