Donald Trump is corrupt - Idaho point of view

Donald Trump's failed leadership has been unsettling, a blur of confrontation, policy pivots and regulatory revolution.

DONALD TRUMP- a threat to democracy

Idaho Statesman opinion letter echo:

Indeed, Donald Trump has gone way too far. Unchecked, he is revoking security clearance of everyone who opposes him. Unchecked he is calling for the shutdown of a free press. Unchecked he is dividing our country. 

Trumpzi rallies put the First Amendment in grave danger because as he calls for attacks on everyone who does not support him. 

Judge Ellis* needed U.S. Marshals to protect him because he was receiving threats over the Manafort case. The United States is supposed to be a free country, but Trump and his cronies are turning it into a dictatorship. Our Constitution sets out the checks and balances of the three branches of our government. Where are our representatives? They are supposed to be the checks and balances of government. But Trump has weakened the Legislative and Judicial branches of government and empowered the Executive branch. When all three branches are complicit and corrupt we no longer have a democracy. Our president is corrupt, weakening two branches of government, while destroying the checks and balances that have worked in the past. The land of the free looks like the land of tyranny and corruption. 

Without a free press we have no democracy.
