Trump Is the World’s Worst Dictator:

Dictators crave power. President Donald Trump is using his power to give Americans more freedom. That’s a massive difference.

Desperate to find an effective attack against Trump, some Democrats are recycling an old one. They claim he’s an authoritarian. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., invited laid-off federal workers to attend Trump’s recent speech to Congress. She said she was standing “shoulder to shoulder with people in defiance to a dictator.” That type of defiance led Democrats to callously withhold applause from a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor simply because Trump introduced him. Shameful.

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams recently called Trump a “petty tyrant.”

The Associated Press claimed that Trump “has embarked on a dizzying teardown of the federal government and attacks on long-standing institutions in an attempt to increase his own authority.”

These accusations aren’t new. Former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris frequently labeled Trump a threat to democracy. Last year, historian Jon Meacham called Trump a “tyrant” who would cause the downfall of the American Republic.

Trump has fed into this. After he attacked congestion pricing in Manhattan, the White House posted a picture of him wearing a crown. Trump said, “Long live the king.” While that was obviously not a serious claim to monarchical authority, it sent the propaganda press into a tizzy.

Many Americans believe the worst about Trump as 41% of Americans say Trump is a dictator, according to a February YouGov poll.

Those people aren’t just wrong—they have it backward. Trump is doing the one thing dictators never do—reduce their own power.

It’d help to define some terms. Merriam-Webster says a dictator is “one holding complete autocratic control.” An autocracy is a “government in which one person possesses unlimited power.” Tyrant has a similar meaning—“an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution.”

Therefore, by definition, you can’t be a dictator while increasing freedom and shrinking the size and scope of government. It’s a contradiction.

That’s what Trump is doing. He rolled back Biden’s target for electric vehicle sales. He’s unshackled the energy industry. He wants to undo Biden administration restrictions on dishwashers, shower heads and light bulbs. He’s ordered agencies to eliminate 10 previous regulations for every new one they put in place. He’s increasing freedom. —>READ MORE HERE

Trump Is Bringing About a Regime Change Not Seen Since 1933:

The second Trump administration is engaged in the first real transfer of power since 1933. What is taking place is an attempt at national transformation, and that is never quiet. “Buckle up, there’s more to come,” I tell friends—not only here but especially those overseas—who express anxiety with what they see as turmoil.

Transfers of power produce winners and especially losers. The losers don’t accept their new status quietly, especially when they’re used to winning. A pliant media amplifies the noise, creating cacophony.

So we are at peak moaning. Go to any gathering inside Washington’s Beltway, and you’ll likely encounter the men and women who used to run the “permanent bureaucracy”—and thus expected to do so permanently—crying in their Chardonnay and spitting spitefully at Elon Musk.

President Donald Trump’s many fans in politics across Europe and Latin America intuit, however, that the rumble they hear means real change might be underway. They are elated because they, too, crave a transformation that will save national identity and end the drive to remake society along woke lines.

But the largest center-right parties—the Christian Democratic Union in Germany, the Tories in the U.K., the Partido Popular in Spain, to cite but three examples—have wanted to continue pretending that for the past few years, what we have been experiencing is politics as usual. They likely fear that what is happening here is but a harbinger of what’s to come to their countries.

In the U.S., we had been in an age of regime politics for many years, giving us polarizing politics and societal division. As the writer Christopher Caldwell explained in his 2020 breakaway book “The Age of Entitlement,” we have for a couple of decades engaged in an increasingly raw debate not over normal matters—say, top marginal tax rates—but over how the country was to be constituted.

It was as though we had not just two competing visions, but two competing constitutions. One was hammered out in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787, and based on the Declaration’s idea that God had endowed individuals with “unalienable rights.” The other saw identity groups, based on such immutable characteristics as race and sex, as society’s main protagonists.

“Much of what we have called ‘polarization’ or ‘incivility’ in recent years is something more grave,” Caldwell wrote. “It is the disagreement over which of these two constitutions will prevail.”

Ruling institutions such as the U.S. Agency for International Development—or USAID—the Smithsonian, public broadcasting, etc., catered to the identity groups and the new constitution.

We were threatened, therefore, by the real possibility of regime change in America. Understanding that meant knowing “what time it is,” a phrase that soon caught on.

What Trump is now attempting is a restoration of the status quo ante with regards to some things (such as the reality that we have two sexes, for example, or the meritocratic ideal), combined with the shattering of some institutions and practices, and a deep redrawing of the two political parties. —>READ MORE HERE
