Recalibrating Responses to Trump's Phenomenon

It is recognized that Donald Trump is no longer seen as a mere aberration but rather a significant political phenomenon and movement.

The discussion includes considerations about the legality and moral implications of utilizing presidential powers, like pardons, as a means to fortify political allies against potential prosecutions. By redefining the approach to preserving democratic norms in the face of such challenges, it becomes essential to balance traditional legal frameworks with necessary, albeit controversial, actions.
