These scholars pointed to other Trump actions they say blatantly broke the law, such as freezing trillions of dollar in federal spending and dismissing members of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), even though they were confirmed by the Senate and had several years left in their terms.
“Without any doubt Donald Trump is the most lawless and scofflaw president we have ever seen in the history of the United States,” said Laurence Tribe, one of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars and a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School.
Tribe said Trump has carried out “a blitzkrieg on the law and the constitution. The very fact that the illegal actions have come out with the speed of a rapidly firing Gatling gun makes it very hard for people to focus on any one of them. That’s obviously part of the strategy.”
This was kind of how he operated in the business world too, even before politics, sliding from one controversy to the next but profiting off the attention/hype.
It’s a sinister talent of Trump. A lot of people write him off as an idiot, but that’s dangerous, as historically this is his thing.
Point being… yeah, we should have seen all this coming.
He is a useful idiot. He knows his position well, the dangerous part is the people behind the scenes, calling the plays. Billionaires, white supremacists, Christian extremists, and corporate interests.
The US was traded for a profit before I was born, they just aren’t trying to hide* it anymore
