What has happened to the United States?

What has happened to my country? President Donald Trump has made himself the dictator of the country and has chosen to attack both friends and foes in his pursuit of his desire to control the world. It appears as dictator he intends to enable China to control all of east Asia and Russia to control all of Europe.

Sadly the U.S. congress has become a puppet. The constitution will no longer be the basic law and will be a piece of history. The 250th anniversary of the United States will also mark the end of our democracy.

I am crying.

Justice Department drafting a list of ‘domestic terrorists’

The federal government war on those who do not conform to Donald Trump’s vision of America.  That vision is to denounce all those opposing him and calling them domestic terrorists. The GOP quietly goes along with Trump’s vision of a country where all who oppose his objectives must be silenced.  That means no free press.

Following the news report highlighted on the front page of the Los Angeles Times and reported elsewhere.

WASHINGTON — Justice Department leadership has directed the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism” by the start of next year, and to establish a “cash reward system” that incentivizes individuals to report on their fellow Americans, according to a memo reviewed by The Los Angeles Times.

Law enforcement agencies are directed in the memo, dated Dec. 4, to identify “domestic terrorists” who use violence, or the threat of violence, to advance political and social agendas, including “adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity.”

Although the memo does not mention protests against President Trump’s immigration crackdown directly, it says that problematic “political and social agendas” could include “opposition to law and immigration enforcement, extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders.”

The memo also outlines what it says are causes of domestic terrorist activity, including “hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality.”

“Federal law enforcement will prioritize this threat. Where federal crime is encountered, federal agents will act,” the memo states.

Biden says Trump has ‘taken a wrecking ball’ to democracy in sharp criticism

Former President Joe Biden delivered a strong critique of his successor Friday, arguing to a room of supporters that President Donald Trump has “taken a wrecking ball” to democracy.

“I knew Trump was going to taking a wrecking ball to the country, but I had no idea, I have to admit, I didn’t know there was going to be an actual wrecking ball,” Biden said at a gala hosted in Omaha by the Nebraska Democratic party, referring to Trump’s demolition of the the White House’s East Wing to build a 90,000-square foot ballroom.

“It’s a perfect symbol of his presidency,” Biden said. “Trump has taken a wrecking ball not only to the people’s house but to the Constitution, to the rule of law, to our very democracy.”

Biden also mocked Trump’s repeated declarations that his second term has brought “a golden age” to the country.

“He now says we are quote ‘in a golden age.’ The only gold is the stuff he’s hanging on the mantle,” the former president said, referring to Trump’s gilded additions to the Oval Office.

Trump the Dictator

Donald Trump was sent a message on election day 11/4/2025. All the major elections were won by Democrats. His reaction was predictable. His contention is that the elections were rigged. Furthermore, since his name was not on the ballots he doesn’t see himself as losing the elections. He sees the results as GOP loss but not his loss.

Trump sees himself as all powerful.

With no one to stop him Trump as he continues to do things that presidents are not supposed to be doing. We are witnessing the decline of America into a dictatorship.

Destruction of the American Democracy

Slowly but surely Donald Trump is destroying the American democracy. Slowly so you won’t notice the loss. It’s like the frog being baked. He attacks everyone and everything he finds objectionable. He wants no words spoken or written that criticize him. He views the press as his enemy and objects to free speech.

In Trump’s America there is no free press. Podcasts and Broadcast news and opinion will only be what he approves. There is no medical science that contradicts his views even though he has no medical training. He wants all schools to tell his version of American history and that means nothing said about the treatment of minorities.

Trump wants martial law. Martial law involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule and is usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster. When martial law is in effect, the military commander of an area or country has unlimited authority to make and enforce laws.

Sadly almost 50% of Americans approve of the Trump presidency according to daily average of polls conducted by dozens of different organizations as reported by the New York Times.

‘A nation of Constitutional law’

Karin Immergut, a federal judge appointed by Trump, said this last weekend that the administration’s justification for deploying California National Guard troops in Portland was “simply untethered to the facts.”

“This country has a longstanding and foundational tradition of resistance to government overreach, especially in the form of military intrusion into civil affairs,” Immergut wrote, chiding the Trump administration for attempting to circumvent a prior order from her against a federal deployment to the city.

“This historical tradition boils down to a simple proposition,” she added: “This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law.”

The Insurrection Act gives the president sweeping emergency power to deploy military forces within the United States if the president deems it is needed to quell civil unrest. The last time this occurred was in 1992, when California Gov. Pete Wilson asked President George H.W. Bush to send federal troops to help stop the Los Angeles riots that occurred after police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King.

On Monday, in an interview with CNN, Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, suggested that the administration would continue working to sidestep Immergut’s orders.

Donald Trump seems to believe he has absolute power.
