Donald Trump’s escalating attacks on American institutions, journalists, and perceived enemies are not politics as usual, they are authoritarian threats. From ordering military force against American cities, to demanding criminal charges against private citizens and political opponents, to directing censorship against comedians like Jimmy Kimmel, Trump is behaving more like a dictator than a president. His words are reckless, his actions dangerous, and his mental unfitness increasingly obvious to the public. The American people are responding. Over 6 million tuned in to watch Kimmel push back against censorship. Millions more are watching Trump’s approval drop and Democrats winning elections across the country. This is not just about partisanship. It’s about defending democracy from a man actively working to destroy it. His behavior toward the press, the military, and his political enemies mirrors that of authoritarian regimes, not constitutional republics. Congress must act now. Begin public investigations into Trump’s abuses of power. Denounce his use of state force for personal vendettas. The public is rising. Now it’s your turn. Stop Trump’s descent into dictatorship.
