Trump's Authoritarian Intentions

Donald Trump is positioning his sentencing for falsifying business records as a justification for pursuing authoritarian tactics in a potential second term. He appears to be laying the groundwork to use this conviction as a pretext for targeting political opponents, especially within his own party, as well as prominent Democrats. Combatting what he perceives as corruption from the judicial system, Trump may mobilize his supporters against those who politically oppose him, potentially leading to harassment and intimidation of judges and other legal authorities. Such actions signal an alarming trend where the justice system could become weaponized against Trump's adversaries, compromising its fairness and integrity.
