Trump is using the power of government to punish opponents. They're struggling to respond

//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ish-opponents-they-re-struggling-to-respond.html

Published in Politics and Government on Sunday, March 30th 2025 at 5:20 GMT by CNN
^{🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source}

President Donald Trump is using the power of the federal government to intimidate or neuter potential sources of opposition to him: The legal establishment, academia and prominent cultural institutions,

The article from CNN, published on March 30, 2025, discusses former President Donald Trump's recent comments where he suggested that he would seek to punish his political opponents if he were to return to office. Trump, speaking at a rally, indicated that he would use the Department of Justice to target individuals he believes have wronged him or his supporters, framing it as a form of retribution for what he describes as "witch hunts" against him. This statement has raised concerns about the politicization of justice and the potential erosion of democratic norms. Critics argue that such actions would undermine the rule of law and could lead to a cycle of political vendettas, while Trump's supporters see it as a necessary response to perceived injustices. Legal experts and political analysts are debating the implications of these threats on the stability of American democracy.
