Letter: End of American democracy begins with this president
President Donald Trump told the truth (for once), when he exclaimed that once elected, he would act as a dictator.
He has shown that he does not care about promoting democracy, only about power: corporate, presidential, national.
He is now defying federal judges’ orders. There is not a constitutional crisis coming, a constitution crisis is happening right now.
How can we call ourselves a democracy, how can we call ourselves a nation of law, when one man, and one man alone, Donald Trump, is able to defy the other two branches of government? He has promised to do this and in fact he is doing this right now. We now live in a fascist dictatorship and are witnessing the end of American democracy.
