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.
