He is imposing retributive and inflationary tariffs on most of America&#8217;s allies. He is sending troops into U.S. cities to suppress peaceful, lawful dissent. He is directing his <em>&#8220;Justice&#8221;<\/em> Department to indict and persecute his political foes. He is attempting to muzzle the free press via government pressure and ludicrous lawsuits. He is trying to rig future elections with partisan gerrymandering. And that&#8217;s an abbreviated list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68275\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In short, Trump is working tirelessly on poisoning the institutions that hold America together. He is hellbent on twisting every one of those institution &#8211; from governmental, legal, academic, diplomatic, legislative, and even cultural &#8211; into slaves to his personal obsessions. And among the most worrisome are his efforts aimed at the institution of America&#8217;s military.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Trump&#8217;s hostilities toward U.S. cities with Democratic leaders, he is escalating his war on members of the Democratic Party itself. He recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68260\" target=\"_blank\">investigate Bill Clinton and other Democrats<\/a><\/strong> over baseless accusations of associations with Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, aired a segment that explicitly accused Democrats of advocating treason.<\/p>\n<p>The segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox&#8217;s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read <em>&#8220;Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Blackburn:<\/strong> It is inconceivable that you would have elected officials that are saying to uniformed members of the military who have taken an oath to protect and defend that they say would defy the orders that they have been given to execute their mission.
