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.

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.

Is Donald Trump a Tyrant?

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.

You think this is a witch hunt, Mr. President? That’s an insult to the women who suffered

You think this is a witch hunt, Mr. President? That’s an insult to the women who suffered

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.
