Donald Trump desființează mecanismele de control asupra puterii executive și amenință democrația americană / “Nici măcar Mao nu și-a pus chipul pe bani” (foști oficiali din domeniul securității)

Former intelligence officials warn that Donald Trump is following an autocratic path in his second term, undermining democratic institutions and increasing risks to U.S. security. Critics highlight his attempts to silence dissent and consolidate power, raising alarms about the erosion of checks on executive authority. The group 'The Steady State' expresses deep concern over these developments, emphasizing the potential threats to democracy. Trump's use of declassified information for personal political gain and the revocation of security clearances for critics are also noted as alarming trends. Despite these issues, some believe American institutions will withstand the pressure.
