In my opinion, it's a lot of fun to look at Trump's obvious insecurities, idiotic ramblings, narcissism, etc., and it's easy to focus on that and make it look like real issues. (For example: because Trump is damaging the reputation and relationships of the US, is amplifying political polarization, and debasing the US presidency with pretty much every breath he takes.) But in the meantime, I worry he is actually leaving a real and lasting legacy (the rest can be reversed fairly easily) through his tax reforms, the installation of all those judges, and things like this new federal police. I hope there can be more discussion about that in the US, although I know political and election discussions everywhere (not just in the US) are all about soundbites now...
Back to the federal police: call me paranoid, but I worry where this might go. If they can't be stopped through the courts, what's stopping Trump from, for example, declaring mail-in voting a national threat (in whatever way he can do that) and ordering his new police to start confiscating ballots across the country? (Starting with states where this would be in his favour, of course.) That's pretty extreme, but there are all kinds of ways this police force could be used to influence voter opinions and interfere with the election process, and I wouldn't put anything past Trump and his cronies. Or are there safeguards against this stuff that I am not aware of?
Its not like this guy has to worry about losing his job since Trump's reign appears to be ending soon.
