End Trump's Dictator Rule
Since Inauguration Day, Trump has consistently upended our constitutional separation of powers to unilaterally control all branches of our government; impose his political agenda on the entire U.S. population; and extort or prosecute anyone who challenges him, his power, or his financial interests.
-
He has deployed the military against Americans in U.S. cities and repeatedly threatened to weaponize the military to attack the “enemy within”, i.e. anyone deemed to be a political opponent.
-
He has exploited emergency powers to circumvent established law and enact illegal policies, including tariffs and military strikes.
-
He has attacked our freedom of speech by threatening legal action against media companies and news organizations for critical coverage, revoking visas from immigrants for their views, and directing the Justice Department to target political opponents.
-
He has withheld federal funding to assert political control over universities and government agencies.
-
He has bulldozed Congress’ constitutional authority over tariffs, the budget, and military authorizations to consolidate power within the executive branch.
-
He has repeatedly defied federal court orders and attacked judges who rule against him.
-
He has weaponized the Department of Justice to attack political enemies and shield himself and his allies from prosecution.
-
He has threatened states’ authority to over their elections and pushed for additional partisan gerrymandering to rig congressional elections.
-
He has personally profited off his position by using “donations” and lawsuit threats as tools for bribery.
-
He is extorting the Justice Department for $230 million for past cases against him. Any settlement will be approved by DOJ official Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, and be paid with taxpayer dollars.
-
He demolished the East Wing of the White House, without the necessary approval, to build a ballroom funded by undisclosed billionaire “donations.” Trump previously assured the public that the current White House would not be affected by the construction plans.
In any other administration, just one of these egregious displays of authoritarianism would merit the removal of a president. It is beyond unacceptable that Congress has ceded their constitutional role to allow this fascist attack on our democracy to continue. Demand your representatives do their job as a member of a co-equal branch of government and stop Trump’s dictatorial rule.
