Trump’s Executive Order: Judge, Jury & Comedy Executioner

President Trump’s federal government is now like that overbearing neighbor who watches your every word and punishes dissenters on a whim. Within eight months, he’s transformed the presidency into Judge, Jury, and Executioner of speech and justice, micromanaging so hard it makes control freaks jealous. James Comey, the FBI ex-boss who got the boot in 2017, was indicted mere days after Trump tossed him a prosecution nudge via Truth Social. Meanwhile, NY Attorney General Tish James got hit with bank fraud charges, calling them 'baseless'—probably the new aphorism for Trump investigations. John Bolton is tangled in 18 classified info counts for emailing secrets via AOL and Gmail (because secure messaging is overrated). Trump’s pardon playlist includes Jan. 6 rioters and financial fraudster George Santos, who got sprung right after praising Trump from solitary confinement and then shamelessly appeared on Fox & Friends saying he won’t 'disappoint.' To top off this authoritarian mixtape, Trump’s administration weaponizes 'consequence culture' while gaslighting conservatives about 'preserving norms'—a polite way to say ‘your civilization is toast.' The White House's communications director even smugly claims they finally know how to pull government levers; apparently, this season’s drama is American dictatorship, episode: MAGA micromanagement.
