Donald Trump is now the president-elect and brings upon us another existential threat. In my book, The Trump Files, I concluded that Trump poses a significant risk. This is a conclusion I made if he were ever elected again as President. His election created an existential threat.
101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We Are Not. Germany had suffered the trauma of defeat in World War I. Significantly, there were plots to bring down German democracy. Donald Trump thinks he’s a “strongman.” He certainly utters some of the words used by dictators and strongmen. But Trump is not A strongman. He desperately wants to be. He is weak and old. Trump may be a weak strongman, but he is a dangerous wanna-be dictator. If he were elected, he would surely undermine and attempt to dismantle democratic guard rails. He’s a convicted felon and shouldn’t be president
Discover the alarming initiatives proposed by Project 2025 that threaten our fundamental rights and public services. It includes a detailed blueprint for the next Republican president to usher in a sweeping ultraconservative overhaul of the executive branch. Trump denies knowing the plan, but it was written for him—a rapist, fraudster, traitor, felon, racist, bigot, & misogynist.
Explore the tumultuous journey of a businessman-turned-president whose actions have left an indelible mark on American history. He is acting like a weird madman as he seeks the presidency for the third time. He said he would be a dictator (“Dictator Don”) on his first day in office. I do not speak lightly on this assertion. The plan for a dictatorship is described in the Heritage Foundation document, Project 2025. It is a dangerous plan to uproot and destroy democracy and hand it over to elites (most of whom are dumb rich folk). This is not a joke.
Authoritarianism is a mindset that is characterized by a strong belief in the power of authority and a tendency to support the status quo. This mindset is often seen in the United States, where it is deeply rooted in the nation’s history and culture. It is a mindset that has been used to justify oppressive policies and practices, and it has been linked to a range of social and political issues.
The post examines authoritarianism in the context of present political dilemma.
I thought I would revisit a blog post I wrote in August 2019 when Donald Trump was in the White House. The post was rewritten for my book, The Trump Files. Donald Trump is one of a host of strongmen identified in Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s book. Trump is a dangerous authoritarian who feeds his cult and their narcissism.
