Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

Seeds of confusion, tying up the courts, seams like anarchy is on its way to becoming law… with every order there are dozens of lawsuits, but who appoints the judges? The same one sowing the seeds.

The President is legally required to give Congress 30 days notice—and a good reason—before removing an Inspector General.
In the dead of night, President Trump unlawfully fired at least 15 IGs without cause.
His goal is clear: to replace these independent watchdogs with partisan political hacks.
