Donald Trump showed that he is not going to tolerate dissent in the While House. However, some experts now say that the President may well be trying to fight democracy.
Not so long ago, President Trump fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates from not defending Trump’s executive order on immigration. In particular, President Trump temporarily banned the citizens of 7 countries from visiting the United States. Those countries are Sudan, Somali, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran. He also suspended the refugee program for another 4 months. At the same time, the White House keeps on persuading the public that it’s not about religion (for those of you who don’t know, those are Muslim countries). They say it’s all about fighting international terrorism and prevent terrorists from going to the USA as refugees.
There is one but. No Syrians have committed any terrorist attacks on the USA since 1975. They are just trying to escape the war tearing apart their motherland. At the same time, the TOP10 of countries the refugees are coming from do not include Sudan, Libya, and Yemen. However, there is Ukraine, which is number 9 on the list.
President Trump’s decision triggered a wave of protests all around the United States and the entire world. Even some representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense say that such steps may harm the USA’s allies in the Middle East and Asia. That’s why the Pentagon is already busy working on a list of those cooperating with the USA to make an exception for them.
At the same time, experts say that the amount of “traitors” may increase over time as Donald trump makes more and more of those unpopular political decisions. The thing is that more and more politicians disagree with Trump’s orders. However, President Trump and his administration already gave everyone to understand that it’s the “obey or quit” game. Trump is trying to create an administration consisting of loyal politicians committed to his policies.
