What would you call someone who openly defies court orders, issues illegal executive orders, attempts to force private businesses and universities into doing what he wants by threatening to pull their broadcasting license and threatening to withhold federal funding, has completely renovated the oval office full of gold, and thinks he is above the law, which btw the supreme Court essentially said he (any president really) is?
Democracy is about the people, and Trump couldn't give a fuck what the people think. Over 80% of the country disagrees with how ICE and CBP are doing things and Trump's approval ratings are below 40%. And don't tell me "the majority of the country voted for him" because that's simply untrue. The majority of those who voted, voted for him and only about 1/3rd of the nation's eligible population votes in Presidental elections. Out of those people, only a small fraction above half voted for Trump. Do the math that is 1/6th roughly of the nation's eligible voting population which voted for him. The fact that you see a man who has personally profited off the Presidency and has made over 1 billion dollars off his memecoin scam since being inaugurated as someone who is working for you is hilarious and shows just how well right wing propaganda works.
good job getting engaged with civics, I guess.
what's your take on the "threat to our democracy" video of the newscasters all saying the same line?
