There should be no denial about the fact that Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. But in his self-centered way, Trump refused to accept that he lost. Despite challenging the elections in the courts, initiating recounts and exerting undue pressure on state and local officials, all his claims came to nothing. Nevertheless, social movements linked to Trump and incited by his rhetoric coordinated a rally in Washington, DC on January 6 th , 2021, the day that Congress certi

The Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela and removal of Nicolas Maduro had several negative aspects and a few potentially positive ones. The Trump administration did not seek congressional authorization for the attacks, which are within Congress’s authority according to the U.S. constitution. Further, it promotes the norm that big power countries can attack weaker ones, potentially encouraging countries like Russia and China to make similar attacks in the future. The ad

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice finally released some of the Epstein files, as legally required due to a law passed in November. However, it was only a fraction of the files, and some were heavily redacted. Reps Ro Khanna (D) and Thomas Massie (R) are threatening to file contempt of Congress charges and even articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi.

In Trump’s rush to vastly expand the powers of the Presidency and take unprecedented actions with the National Guard and military, serious questions have arisen about the legality of his orders. When six members of Congress made a video telling members of the military that they have a duty to question potentially illegal commands, Trump blasted out that they should be put on trial for sedition and potentially executed. This article opposes his extreme view, and states that th

President Trump recently displayed his continued disrespect for the media again. When a woman journalist asked him about releasing the Epstein files, he rudely said "Quiet, Piggy!". Similarly, when an ABC News reporter asked him about the Epstein files, he encouraged the Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to revoke ABC's license. This shows Trump's lack of respect for journalists, and disregard for the importance of media in US democracy. The right to Fre
