One of the most telling things about Trump is his out of control jealousy. His inability to regulate his emotions properly is what makes him grossly unqualified for the office of the presidency.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

The DHS is using a repurposed $55 billion Navy contract to convert warehouses into jails and build tent cities. These facilities should house 10,000 people each.
