The longstanding lust that Donald Trump harbors to reign as an unchallenged dictator continues to reveal itself in his aberrant behavior that is getting worse by the day. For instance, from his perverse perspective he believes that he can rename everything from the Strait of Hormuz (Trump Strait?), to the state of New Mexico (New America?).

Trump’s authoritarian aspirations manifest in ever more troubling ways. Among them are his attacks on the free press that he frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He lashes out at the media on a daily basis, often including threats that are flagrant violations of the First Amendment, and for which he has no authority to enforce.

On Monday morning Trump squeezed out yet another unconstitutional abomination. This time it was a lawsuit threat aimed at the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive think tank that studies government agencies and policies. Trump was outraged over a television segment he saw where a CAP study contradicted Trump’s lies about crime cutting in cities where he illegally deployed the National Guard. Trump raged that…

“[T]he foolish Center for American Lack of Progress, stated that adding the National Guard to Cities, including our now Great Again, Washington, D.C., had ‘NO impact on Crime.’ How crazy is that. Hall was met with furious dissent. The report is just another Radical Left SCAM, as are the people who fund this gaggle of Lunatics.” […]

“These people, and others like them, are so bad for our Country. Their stated course is anything to hate or demean ‘TRUMP.’ This will be met with a lawsuit, which is being drawn now. I am also strongly considering adding some of the contributors to this Fake Organization.”

How crazy was that? Well, Trump never actually calculates the amount of crazy. He just insults the study’s authors, the organization, and their donors. He never offers a rebuttal to the facts in the study. In reality, the study isn’t crazy at all. In fact, it is a detailed examination of crime statistics that are backed up by reporting from official government law enforcement sources. See for yourself…

The Trump Administration’s $1.7 Billion National Guard Deployments Fail To Reduce Urban Crime
“The second Trump administration is trying to take credit for the historic drop in violent crime across America despite the fact that this trend began before it took office, and it is using these declines to justify expanding policies that are unpopular, ineffective, and costly. Even though the data clearly show that violent crime and homicides were already dropping in American cities in 2023 and 2024, the Trump administration has continued to threaten city and state leaders and argue that its extreme actions, such as deploying the National Guard to support law enforcement operations, are improving public safety.

“However, new Center for American Progress analysis finds no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime. Moreover, if these deployments are extended and continue through the end of 2026, they could cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 billion.”

So Trump is once again threatening a lawsuit without a shred of evidence to support his wild and self-serving allegations. Once again his true purpose is to try to frighten his foes into submission. This is his way of silencing critics. And this time he’s even aiming his hostility at the organization’s donors in the hopes of drying up financial support for them and every other organization that might anger Trump. But he isn’t likely to succeed. CAP replied to his threats saying that…

“Lawyers for President Donald Trump issued a letter demanding the Center for American Progress retract a factual report or face a $5 billion lawsuit.”

[CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden added that] “This threatened lawsuit’s attack on facts and evidence is baseless. A fundamental protection of the First Amendment is to allow for the publication of facts and analysis that are contrary to the arguments and claims of any administration. A lawsuit is a transparent attempt to silence us. We will neither cower nor bend in the face of it.”

Trump thinks he can get away with these threats because a few media corporations with business before the government caved in. But an organization like CAP isn’t going to bend over. Even the media isn’t being so weak-kneed lately. And the American people will have the final word when they reject all things Trump in November. Then maybe he will sue all of us for voting against him. He really is that insane.
