Donald Trump is a bad/dangerous president

Donald Trump is a Dangerous, Anti-Democracy Authoritarian

• He tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election. You can find a good breakdown of exactly why the electors plot was so bad here. The case against Trump was very strong before it was halted after he won the 2024 election.

• Attacking election infrastructure including defunding election security, removing security staff, and and trying to remove the FEC head to reduce regulation on campaign spending. Attempting to remove election handling from states

• Deploying the military to blue cities 1.

• Purging the military, in particular the lawyers responsible for determining the legality of orders. Hegseth: "we want lawyers who …don't exist to attempt to be roadblocks".

• Loyalty tests for federal workers including support for misinformation

• Threatens to cut off federal funds if candidate he doesn't like is elected.

• Publicly urges AG to target his political opponents. Here's Biden and Trump's former pardon lawyer talking about how real and serious this situation is

• Wants to prosecute people for campaigning on behalf of opponents.

• After deleting a study showing the commonality of right-wing violence from the DoJ website and making threats to dismantle his opposition without evidence, Trump designates a fake organization as a terrorist organization, which he is using as a pretext to invade states with the US army, (whom he calls "the enemy within").

• Sends prisoners to prison outside US jurisdiction (not always due process).

• Disappearing students over unfavorable politics (which a judge has ruled unconstitutional) and deporting legal immigrants without due process. "My entire life, 'Armed government agents stopping people in the street and asking to see their papers' was a shorthand for 'irredeemably evil tyranny'"

• Three different former KGB have claimed that Trump was compromised and under Russian control: 1 2 3

• Banning quality news for unfavorable reporting

• First ammendment violations: 1 2 3

• Dictator talk: 1

"its funny to see what trump doing rn is basically what Xi did when he was in power at the beginning. challenge all the departments for efficiency and anti corruption, then he fired those ppl not loyal to him and replaced by his own followers"

Donald Trump is a Bad President With Objectively Bad Policy

Cabinet and Staff

• Pete Hegsethis an unqualified joke: 1 2

• DHHS secretary (who said we should send people on Adderall to labor camps and thinks diabetics need cooking classes instead of insulin), Pulls funding for vaccines. Probably why over 15,000 doctors signed a letter urging the senate to reject him

• Ed Martin appeared on Russian state media over 150 times

• Newly Minted DOJ Employee Michael Caputo Keeps Posting ‘Antifa’ Death Fantasies Online

• Fires labor stats chief for factual, inconvenient information. Dismantles two panels on economic data

• Diplomats reluctant to share inconvenient information with administration.

• Removed independence from a large number of federal agencies.

Tariffs

• Expert consensus is that these tariffs are bad policy

• Greatly increasing inflation as predicted by experts at the beginning of the year.

• Nosedived the economy until walked back. Notable that the economy only improves when he reverses these decisions. Administration says recession is "worth it".

• International tariff fallout: India moves to replace US trade with Chinese and Russian, US ceding beef market share to Australia.

• Clearly has no idea what he's talking about and tries to order country's top experts reverse course.

Other

• "Big Beautiful Bill" results in large cuts for key services in order to cut taxes for the wealthy, while blowing up the defect and losing the country's perfect credit rating

• Revoking the status of over half a million legal immigrants

• Multiple rights of women under attack

• Walks back major deals with other countries: NAFTA, USMCA, NATO, Iran deal (now they're closer to nuclear weapons than ever). Countries cannot negotiate with such an unreliable partner. US image has declined internationally. 73% of French people no longer consider the US an ally

• Halts major reports on potential pandemics

• Defunded the CFPB as well as massive cuts to the SEC and EEOC

• Said the US should default on its debt

• Said he'd encourage Russia to attack NATO countries

Donald Trump is a Corrupt Criminal and a Liar

• Politifact has rated 77% of the statements they've reviewed "mostly false" or worse

• Obvious links to Epstein and his girls, which probably explains the lack of release, and the blocking of investigation into Epstein finances. Contrary some common bullshit, Democrats have been trying to get the records public for years. This is consistent with the long list of GoP politicians with a history of sexual predation

• Pay to play exemption for tariffs and DOGE cuts.

• Likely assisted an accused sex offender in leaving the country

• $400m jet from Qatar; person who approved the gift Qatar lobbyist, conveniently around the time of several new projects. Almost certainly a violation of the Emoluments Clause.
