*** “For one person alone to have the Government of a people in his hands, would be too great a Temptation. It tends to excite and draw forth the Pride of man, to make him unsufferably haughty; it gives him too much liberty to exert his corruption and it encourages him to become a Tyrant and an oppressor, to dispense with Laws and break the most solemn oaths.” [ John Barnard ]

This post presents excerpts from. “PRESIDENT FOR LIFE….Donald Trump is trying to amass the powers of a king.” [ J. Michael Luttig; The Atlantic; December, 2025]. Mr. Luttig is a former federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth District. He was appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1991.

4] “..Trump is different from all prior presidents in his utter contempt for the Constitution and America’s
democracy.” [Read this again – think what this says]

3] “Trump proved in 2021 that he would do anything to remain in the White House.”

11]. “Trump has turned the federal government against the American people.”
[*** This is written BEFORE the ICE terrorism unleashed against Minnesota***]

8] “For anyone who doubts that Trump is contemplating a monarchical reign, consider how very far down that road he already is. Since returning to office, he has sought absolute power, unchecked by other branches of government, the 50 states, or the free press. On the first day..he launched a direct attack on the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment……. He has arrogated to himself Congress’ power to levy tariffs…….. He has usurped Congress’ spending and appropriation powers……. He has likewise usurped Congress’ power to establish executive-branch departments and agencies….unilaterally overhauling the U.S. government.”

***. “Uncontrolled power, in the hands of an incensed, imperious and rapacious conquerer, is an engine of dreadful execution; and woe be to that country over which it can be exercised.” [ Thomas Paine ]

1] “The 47th president prefers to stir feelings of fear, vulnerability, hopelessness, and political inevitability – the sense that he, and only he, can rescue the nation from looming peril.”

2] “The Founders of our nation foresaw a figure like Trump, a demagogue who would ascend to the presidency and refuse to relinquish power to a successor chosen by the American people in a free and fair election.”

5] “Witnesses before the January 6 committee testified that Trump expressed support for hanging Pence while the attack was under way.”

6] “among his first acts after being sworn in again was pardoning or commuting the sentences of every person convicted in connection with January 6. He then set about exacting revenge on the American justice system.”

***. “Every tyrant who has ever lived has believed in freedom – for himself.” [ Elbert Hubbard ]

7]. “Today, Trump has vastly greater powers than he did in 2020…a willing vice president….Trump’s party controls both houses of Congress…The Supreme Court, meanwhile, has paved the way for a third Trump term, by essentially granting him absolute immunity..”

9] “The Supreme court..has largely given the president its imprimatur to continue his power grab. It has either effectively reversed lower-court rulings against the president using the so-called shadow docket, or allowed the administration to proceed until the Court determines the constitutionality of various actions, by which time the damage to the Constitution, the U.S. government, and American society will have been done, as the justices well know.”

10] “The Founders built layers of safeguards into the American system of government to constrain a president…But Trump has run roughshod over these fail-safes too.”

***. “The technique of acquiring dictatorship over what has been a democracy…always involves the same mixture of bribery, propaganda and violence.” [ Bertrand Russell ]

12] “Trump has always told us exactly who he is. We have just not wanted to believe him. But we must believe him now..
– “This is the man who said in January 2016, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot sonebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters..”
– “The man who proposed in 2022 that the “Massive Fraud” he alleged in the 2020 election “allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” and who proclaimed, soon after reassuming office, “He who saves his Country does not violate any law.”
– “The man who, when asked the question “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution as president?,” answered, “I don’t know.”
– “The man who said in August that he can “do anything I want to do,” because he’s president.”
– “The man who has demanded that his attorney general and Department of Justice immediately prosecute his enemies..”
– “and the man who summoned American military generals from around the world to Quantico, Virginia, to tell them that “America is under invasion from within.” repeatedly describing the enemy invasion as being by the “radical left,” a term he now seemingly uses to characterize all of his political opponents.”

13] “We have been given the high charge of our forebears to “keep” the republic they founded a quarter of a millennium ago. If we do not keep it now, we will surely lose it.”

***. “The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain neutrality in times of moral crisis.”
[ Dante Alighieri ]

So – what are YOU going to do???????? YOU may have one last chance to end the Trump DICTATORSHIP – on November 3, 2026. – vote out. EVERY REPUBLICAN. WHY?? Because they have NOT honored their oath to defend the Constitution. they’ve been to busy defending Donald Trump – and they’ll do it more.

This post presents excerpts from. “Administration social media posts echo white supremacist messaging” [ Evan Gorelick; New York Times; 2/1/26 ]:

10] “Also this month, the Labor Department posted a video captioned “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.” That phrase resembled a German slogan used by Nazis during World War II, “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer,” or “One People, One Realm, One Leader.”

1] “The posts have referred to Neo-Nazi literature, ethnic cleansing and QAnon conspiracies, mused about deporting nearly a third of the U.S. population, and promoted lyrics from an anthem bellowed by the far-right militants of the Proud Boys.
“Their authors are not on society’s fringe. They are in the White House and the departments of Homeland Security and Labor, using official government accounts.”

2] “To some people, the administration’s posts sound patriotic. Others might sense at most a faint dog whistle to extremists. Some posts may just look odd. But those well-versed in the abstruse codes of right-wing extremism hear klaxons.”

*** “Prejudice is the reason of fools.” [ Voltaire ]

3]. “This month, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security jointly posted a recruitment ad for Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Instagram, Facebook and X, overlaid with the words “WE’LL HAVE OUR HOME AGAIN.”

4]. “They do everything up to the line; it’s kind of clever,” he said. “We’ll Have Our Home Again’. is a white nationalist song.” He added that to his knowledge, no other groups would use it.”

5] “In the past month, government agencies have made dozens more social-media posts that include iconography associated with far-right extremist groups.”

*** “Racism remains in the eyes of history…merely another instance of the persecution of minorities for the advantage of those in power.” [ Ruth Benedict ]

6] “The slogans echo the title of a 1978 book – “Which Way Western Man?” – that white supremacist groups treat as “foundational,” said Robert Futrell, a sociologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The book claims that Jewish people are plotting to destroy Western civilization, that Adolf Hitler was right and that violence against Jews is justified.”

7] “This month, the Labor Department posted a noir-style image with the words “TRUST THE PLAN.” That’s also a central catchphrase of QAnon, an internet conspiracy theory that falsely claims the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles, and that Trump has been chosen to sunder it.”

8] “On New Year’s Eve, the White House’s X account posted a photo of Trump alongside the word ‘remigration.” That is a decades-old European concept centered on. the expulsion of nonwhite people and immigrants deemed “unassimilated,”…”

9] “Tens of thousands of Germans protested the concept two years ago after the country’s far-right Alternative fur Deutschland party secretly met with neo-Nazis to discuss plans to implement it.”

*** “If I wanted to punish an enemy it should be by fastening on him the trouble of constantly hating somebody.”
[ Hannah More ]

11] “Those who study the online right said one or two posts might be coincidental. But “when you add it all together,” said William Braniff, director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation lab at American University, “it’s much harder to dismiss.”

12] “For years, Trump and his campaign have dealt with and rejected accusations that officials in the Trump inner circle were surreptitiously appealing to racists and antisemites.”

13] “Trump’s final campaign commercial that year featured grainy images of George Soros, the liberal American financier; Janet L. Yellen, then the chair of the Federal Reserve; and Lloyd c. Blankfein, then the chair of Goldman Sachs. – all of them Jewish. – as Trump warned darkly about the “global special interests.”

This is only one incident. If you need more info on Trump’s prejudices, etc. – research his business career, his statements about Obama, etc.
