Deep dives
The Role of the DOJ in Trump's Administration
Trump perceives the Department of Justice as a personal legal firm, seeking to appoint loyalists who will prioritize his interests over justice. This approach signifies a shift towards autocratic governance, reflecting a desire for control reminiscent of regimes with loyalty oaths. Historical comparisons are drawn to Hitler’s German generals, highlighting Trump's focus on having sworn loyalty from officials. This strategy raises concerns about the independence of the DOJ and the rule of law in America.
