Donald Trump’s dictator role-playing|New Yorker

Call it Donald TrumpThe strong man Zhou. In just a few days, the president ordered the army Enter the streets of Los Angeles– Opposition from California Democratic governor – curb protests against his immigrant suppression, united forces appear at political rally with cheering and planning a military parade to roll in the streets of Washington with rare tanks. Trump’s martial arts accompany these military photography works, depicting a country on the brink of war.

When Trump is eager to show similar military performance, he finds himself plagued by his own senior officials, they suffer from fierce attitudes, they suffer from fierce attitudes, they fall into trouble, and sometimes even completely disagree with his requests. In 2017, the President returned from an impressive Bastille Day celebration in France, determined to host his own military parade. It never happened, mainly because of the Pentagon leadership and Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, a retired four-star admiral, who firmly opposed such displays. A few years later, I learned a passionate outbreak, Paul Selva, then Vice-Chairman of the Chief of Staff, Paul Selva, Facing Trump Directly in the Oval Office. He warned Trump that such a march would be profound for non-Americans, “what does the dictator do.” But of course Trump wanted to do so.

So during his first term, the president, who was frustrated with the military-themed United States, not only attended the parade this time, but also did it on his own birthday. (According to Trump’s defenders, it’s just coincidence that they tell us that in reality, only the “haters” would raise the president’s birthday, because the actual purpose of the march was to celebrate the military’s two centenary anniversary. Repairing damage caused by heavy wars to tear its sidewalks apart. On Saturday, plans for thousands of anti-Trump “King-free” protests across the country meant that the day could be remembered as an example of the current miserable division of the United States, as with the unchecked powers of the commander-in-chief.

It’s on the frontlines of Los Angeles, not from the censorship booths of Trump in Washington, where Trump seems eager to move from performative strongmanism to something closer to the real thing. Last weekend, when his Department of Homeland Security agent protested against his increasingly severe attack on the Department of Homeland Security, the president hurried to do what his advisers stopped him from doing in his first term – wearing a unified army to quell domestic political harassment. About five years ago, on June 1, 2020, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper Attorney General Bill Barr and Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley Chairman Mark Milley George Floydin Minneapolis. Trump never stopped regretting the decision, and his quick move in Los Angeles looked like an exorcist. information? It was unrestricted by Trump, removing lingering frustration from his first term and no longer being bound by any opposition voices from his own employees.

For the President, deployment in California was as irresistible as his march. In 1968, he played forever Richard Nixon, a candidate for “Law and Order” who would protect American cities from left-wing riots. One problem with Trump’s vision is that most citizens in Los Angeles have failed to work with his plans and have not actually followed the demands of undermining the illegal Arian tribe. The violence that does occur and the act of Waymo-Taxi burning, however outrageous, is easily handled by the usual civil authorities, as well as more peaceful forms of protest. Another difficult obstacle for Trump to ignore is the federal court that will now consider whether Trump has the right to overthrow California’s democratic governor, Gavin Newsomand ordered the deployment of thousands of National Guards and 700 Marines.

In a speech Tuesday night, Newsom condemned Trump’s actions as “strong abuse of power.” But what impressed me was the response from Trump and his officials who not only warned them that they might violate federal court opposition to California, but that it was their new template regardless of whether they chose to use it in the United States. On Wednesday, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth He testified to Congress that if the protests spread there, he was ready to send troops to other cities – “anywhere,” he said, “if necessary.” That day, Trump himself promised “very great force” to anyone who dared to protest his march, an amendment that was obviously damn, and the aggressiveness of the political opposition was terrible, when the federal agent settled a senator in California, who had been in a senator who had once quarreled, and that was a secret from a family. Earlier in the day, Hegseth refused to confirm that the administration would comply with any court rulings on the deployment of Los Angeles. “We should not have a magistrate to decide on foreign policy or national security policy,” he said.

It’s a real escalation – the Trump-led federal government has now redefined national security to include objections to U.S. citizenship policy. The president’s most animated threat is not from vicious foreign actors, but from “Enemies from within. “Even before the 2024 election, he told ourselves whether people pay attention or not.

Consider the exchange between Trump and Jack Posobiec on Thursday morning, one of his online supporters noted: “There are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles now than Iraq and Syria. Is this what you voted for?”

“Yes,” Trump replied, “in the slippery landslide!!!”

During Trump’s 1.0 period, his White House often promised infrastructure week, although it was a joke when it came to proposing to update legislation on aging bridges, roads, tunnels, etc. in the United States. Joe BidenThe first year of taking office. At least Trump’s first administration still sees the need to pursue some traditional signs of political success. Talking about its plan for the Infrastructure Act is legislative equivalent to a plan to wear red, white and blue, which is bipartisan, truly popular all-American.

Eight years ago, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was Trump’s press secretary, a public touter of the infrastructure for daily dates. Now, the Arkansas crimson governor, she went to social media this week to cheer for Trump’s decision to send troops to retaliate against the opposition of the CEO of another state. “What happened in Arkansas will never happen in California because we compare order to chaos,” she said. Newsom quickly replied, “Your homicide rate is actually twice as high as that in California.”

What I was shocked by their back and forth was how it concisely revealed the truth in American politics. The reality itself is now based on political identity that for a large number of Trump supporters, the conditions in California are not really important: If Trump and his aides, Sanders (such as Sanders) say it is a crime hell of “insurrectors” born from foreign masses and natives, when he appeared on Fort Bragg on Tuesday, that was in business on Tuesday, that was what, that was what, that was what, that was what, that was what, that was what, that was what. True, Trump’s first term was terrible, but I admit that there is a bit nostalgic about the empty promises of both sides’ legislation. He didn’t even pretend anymore. He doesn’t think he needs it. This is the line that has been crossed.

Trump may not be present on Saturday during his entire parade of Saddam Regalia. He is more likely to wear a suit and a red one Magazine The hat is better than the shadows of one of the thugs and the uniforms of medals, such as Kim Jong Un, who admires so much. But I’m going to say the same thing: All these dictator role-playing may sooner or later convince him to try the real thing. Seventy-nine, dear leader! ♦
