Terminator Trump Must Be Toppled Now [View all]

And now, keying off Trump’s Canadian ad tantrum, the Wall Street Journal has mocked the president for claiming “he’s not ‘a king,’ but on tariffs he is acting like one, and without a proper delegation from Congress as the Constitution requires.”

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has it right. Donald Trump is a grave threat to democracy who disregards the rule of law while engaging in “blackmail on a daily basis.”

Before democracy fails, there is an intermediate step that any would-be dictator like Trump must take: the dismantling of the rule of law. The supreme law in the U.S. is the Constitution. Though he swore an oath to uphold it at his inauguration, Trump has since worked assiduously to upend it.

Most journalism south of the border refers to this process as Trump’s “norm breaking.” The euphemism is wholly inadequate to describe what is really going on. Trump is not norm breaking, he is law breaking.

Why do I have to go to a Canadian site to see this laid out? Why does the American media hate America and Americans? They can't ALL be fucking threatened or paid off.

Just think if only some of this article was written/spoken in the US major mass media. It would do at least 2 things: cause the MAGA people to lose their minds and get violent, like they do. And it would reach a whole lot of non-political people in America who would be absolutely shocked.
