The President is an Authoritarian Concentrating Power
This should be no surprise at this time. The president seeks zero accountability for any in his administration or himself. He takes no responsibility for anything. He has said such a few times by now. It does not matter if this is the response to the pandemic, or anything else. Since the Senate refused to hold him accountable, for anything…he is now proceeding to the next phase of his war on institutions. In his fight, the Inspector Generals need to go, or at least those who question him. It turns out that is the job description of the IG, of any department. None should be looking over his shoulder or that of his administration.
When one acts guilty, it either means there is actual guilt, or there is a guilty conscience. Regardless, the president acts like any corrupt leader in any banana republic. He is also doing all he can to benefit his friends, and hurt the country, no matter what happens in November. His loyalty is to himself, not the nation.
His party is still incapable of doing a thing about this. Susan Collins may be troubled, but she will do no more than just post on Twitter. She is not alone. We know this because his party refuses to do more than tell us they are troubled. In reality, they will do all they can to stop the Democrats once they win in November. Why? That is the modus operandi of the modern Republican…
