Donald Trump has many plans for his return engagement at the White House. Several will require police-state tactics.


The article from Mother Jones discusses the contrasting visions of federal power between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Biden's administration has focused on expanding federal authority to address issues like climate change, health care, and infrastructure, often through executive actions and regulatory changes. Conversely, Trump's approach during his presidency was characterized by a desire to dismantle what he and his supporters viewed as an overreaching "administrative state," aiming to reduce regulations and federal oversight, particularly in areas like environmental protection and social welfare programs. The piece highlights how these differing philosophies could significantly impact the role of the federal government in American life, with Biden seeking to strengthen federal intervention for public good, while Trump's legacy leans towards deregulation and a reduction of federal power, potentially leading to a more decentralized governance model. The article also touches on the implications of these policies for democracy, individual rights, and the balance of power between federal and state governments.
