EA-Erich McElroy VideoCast: Trump’s Threat to US Democracy…and to the World
In a 35-minute deep dive, I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale on Wednesday to discuss how Donald Trump’s corruption and wannabe autocracy has replaced the Republican Party with a Trump Party — and is turning the US into a “banana republic”.
We begin with the Trump camp’s latest vengeance against GOP legislators whom they dislike, such as Rep. Thomas Massie, by overwhelming them in Republican primaries.
I explore how far Trump and his inner circle will pursue the “cult of personality” and how much damage it may cause to the US system.
I detail the latest Trumpist corruption, with a $1.776 billion Justice Department slush fund and its declaration of Trump’s “immunity in perpetuity” from Internal Revenue Service investigations.
I close with a look at China’s manipulation of both Trump and Vladimir Putin.
