Trump Has Pulled Us Into Authoritarianism with Military Deployment in US. Trump has accelerated authoritarian tactics by deploying military forces against U.S. citizens during protests, using federal agencies to arrest individuals without due process, and encouraging bans on books and academic speech he deems unpatriotic. His administration has supported defunding and dismantling programs that provide congressional oversight, while promoting loyalty tests for civil servants and suppressing dissent through intimidation and media discrediting. By centralizing power, threatening governors, and undermining democratic norms, Trump continues to erode the institutional checks that safeguard freedom in America.

Trump Attacks Americans on Memorial Day. A day reserved for recognizing the painful loss of life that our war and military service have inflicted on Americans, the president of the United States did not take the non-partisan approach of honoring the lives lost.

Our nation has ever seen. He threatened governors, vilified judges, took bribes from foreign autocrats, stripped funding from our institutions of higher education and programs that help those in need of food assistance in this country and medical care here and around the world, targeted immigrants, shredded our constitution, eroded our Democratic norms.
