Trump’s Hard Right Toward an American Dictatorship

Written by Jack Hassard

On June 26, 2018

The US Constitution has safeguards to prevent an American President’s desire to rule as a dictator.

Donald J. Trump wants to establish himself as the supreme head of State and to rule by authoritarian, despotic, and dictatorial means.

His actions, Tweets, body expressions and desire to become best friend with the dictator of North Korea, cosy up to his former campaign advisor, Vladimir Putin, and praise other world dictatorial heads of state confirm this despotic desire.

His administration governs by authoritarian principles. Executive directive is his principle tool. He uses these to carry out his campaign promise of “America First,” by exposing the racist attitudes of so many Americans who have very short memories.

The current Border Immigration Crisis has been manufactured by Trump. Using his racist intentions he uses lies to tell his base that these families will infest America. He wants them stopped at border, arrest them, and then with no due process, send them back to country from which they are fleeing.

Using claims that are not corroborated, he speaks to his base which is up to the tip of their noses with Trump’s horseshit.

For instance Trump claims that crime is up all along the southern border due directly to immigrant families fleeing Central America. US Government statistics show this not to be true, and indeed the rate of crime among immigrant communities is lower than communities of US citizens. More people in the US are killed by American right-wing groups espousing NAZI hate, & nationalist beliefs. And most of these killers are white men.

The fact that Trump has AJ Sessions sequestered and held prisoner to do his bidding is unscrupulous and dangerous.

The best way to prevent this is to support the Mueller investigation and for the democrats to take back the House and the Senate in the upcoming election.

It wont be easy, but it is possible.

Examining Trump’s Authoritarian Strategies in 2020: His Attempted Coup

I wrote this post in on December 10, 2020 from my home office. From here, I can see wetlands formed from Mud Creek. Mud Creek is a small stream about 100 meters from my backyard. It runs for a few miles until it merges with Noses Creek. Eventually, it meets with Sweetwater Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s largest river.

I have been writing from this office since 1993. I will share more in the future as The Mud Creek Chronicles.

Visiting the past can help us navigate the future. This is especially true now. We have a wannabe dictator and a known authoritarian. They prefer meeting with leaders of authoritarian nations rather than democratic leaders.

Donald Trump and his sycophants were trying to steal the 2020 election. I wrote this nearly a month before he incited thousands to attack the United States Capitol Building. It was obvious. Or it should have been obvious. Autocrat Trump was showing the world that he was determined to stay in office, no matter what.
What did we learn from this attempted coup?

Another Existential Threat: Donald J. Trump

Another Existential Threat: Donald J. Trump

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.

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
