“Nearly three weeks into Donald Trump’s second term in office, the president is continuing to dramatically reimagine and expand his use of executive authority — and to use that authority to carry out retribution against his perceived political enemies,” CNN reports.
“The president spent his first days in office pushing the levers of government — and his unique powers as commander in chief — to target his perceived enemies both inside and outside the government.
But it didn’t stop there. His actions in recent days — including revoking former President Joe Biden’s security clearance, announcing plans to gut the Kennedy Center board, and dismissing the national archivist — have only expanded on those themes.”
