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.
It borders on the ludicrous to hear the US President, touted as the most powerful man in the world, complain of being persecuted like a witch. The deaths of those convicted of witchcraft should not be demeaned and belittled.
The media in the United States has had a long, malignant affair with Donald Trump. CNN televised all of his rallies during the 2016 presidential campaign. It’s time for the media to wake up and realize that reporting about the next election should focus on real stories that inform the truth, not entertain us.
Donald Trump claims he is the target of a federal investigation of the January 6th insurrection. In this post, I speculate on one of the charges, and how, if he’s found guilty, he won’t be able to hold elected office in the U.S.
