If the Democrats do not fight this all that is, they basically admit that authoritarianism will remain here.

Donald Trump lies almost about one theme: his relentless hatred of his political enemies. He is ready to give up this fury, even at the most inopportune points – say, the national television service, which is allegedly based on Christian faith and healing.
On Sunday, during a memorial for the killed right -wing activists Charlie Kirk at the NFL stadium in Arizona, many speakers went on a high road, despite the previous guerrilla history. Widow Kirk, Eric, even went so far that to Offer an apology to the alleged killer of her husband.
But the tall road is not the one that Trump if -the wants to go down. It prefers more underground routes.
In his address to the crowd 60,000 years of president – Note that Kirk “did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them.” So far the standard. Then Trump turned: “I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and don’t want the best for them.”
Regardless of their trouble, these bitter words have the virtue of honesty. Indeed, they offer the key to Trump’s entire presidency. Instead of regulating on behalf of the nation as a whole, it was guided by the principle that the president’s power was helping friends and punishment of enemies.
Trump especially sought to deploy law enforcement agencies as weapons against enemies and shields for the Allies, and all to attract his power. Two events on Saturday clarified Trump’s corruption.
Current Issue
On Saturday evening Trump published Message to the Prosecutor General of Bondi demanding What she pursues three of her most famous political enemies – FBI Director James Komi, California Senator Adam Schif and the Prosecutor General of New York James. Trump also said he calls his former prosecutor Lindsey Khaligan to the key prosecutor’s office. In the message announced:
PEM: I have considered more than 30 applications and messages saying that, in fact, “the same old story, as in the last time, all conversations, is not done. What is done with Komi, Adam” slate “slate ??? they are all guilty like hell but nothing done.” Then we almost invested in a Democrat supporting the US prosecutor in Virginia, with a really bad republican past. A rhin woke up that never was going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem senators have pushed him so much. He even lied in the media and said he threw and that we didn’t. No, I fired it, and there is a great thing, and many lawyers, and legal entities say so. Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer and you love, a lot. We can no longer detain, it kills our reputation and authority. They made me twice and accused me (5 times!), For nothing. Justice must be presented now !!! President djt
Also on Saturday, MSNBC report Tom Homan, who held the duties of Immigration and Customs Director at Trump’s first term, and now his so -called “border king” was sent to the FBI operation immediately before the 2024 elections. According to the news website, the FBI agents recorded Khman “accepting $ 50,000 after showing that it could help agents – who represented the heads of enterprises – in state contracts in the second Trump administration.”
Hono-pulling behavior of $ 50,000 in the CAV bag, promising government services-can seem open and picky. Not in America Trump. “In recent weeks,” MSNBC reports, “” Trump has appointed an officially closed investigation after the FBI Director has demanded a status update in this case. ” A New York Times report notes that this
It remains unclear whether Mr. Khman’s investigation would be, regardless of which party was controlled by the White House, given the recent rulings of the Supreme Court that outlined a high bar for what a bribe or other corrupt act is….
The episode has questions about whether the administration seeks to protect one of its own officials from the legal consequences and whether Mr. Khman’s actions were taken into account when he was appointed to the role of the government.
David French, never trump Conservative and Term the observer, see the same corrupt pattern Trump’s examination of the Tiktak case. Despite the law passed by Congress and signed Joe Biden, Trump detained the closure of the tictak until he could force the Chinese government to sell social media website to its allies.
According to the French
If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary fulfillment – and Congress will not bring his finger to protect the laws he passed – then the president is unleashed. The law does not hold back it. Instead, we remain in the whims and desires of a person who cares about himself, a person who is ready to give up any law or standard to satisfy his insatiable thirst for power.
French is right to pay attention to the role of Congress in providing Trump’s corruption. Congress -republics are almost completely subordinated to Trump, and their democratic colleagues are often endless. Just a few democrats, in particular A representative of Alexandria Okosio Cordes and several of her peersThey even brought up the case of Homan. The general consensus of the Democratic Party leadership seems to be that Trump’s capitalism and its circle are what voters do not care about. Instead, the party focused its reports on the economic issues of “bread”.
This opinion of the corruption issue is myopic. In truth, there is no reason to bring Trump’s corruption and cute deals for their milliers’ buddies cannot become part of a broader economic message. The argument would be that Trump’s actions indicate that he really just wants to protect and enrich the plutocracy, even if the availability crisis causes ordinary Americans.

Only Congress has the ability to check the abuse of Trump’s power. Democrats will neglect their constitutional duty in the selection of Trump’s corruption in the legal system. The Justice Ministry is not intended for Beck and the president’s call.
It is one of the most specific examples of the authoritarian threat of Trump democracy – to avoid fighting on this issue, mostly acknowledged that American democracy is over.
