“Donald Trump, on the first day of his second term as president, used a two-prong attack to target his most pernicious enemy – an accurate history of his first term. The former real estate developer and convicted felon has been running for president for a solid decade now, so his tactics are easy to spot. He makes unfounded and outlandish allegations, pronounced without proof as unquestionable truth to him and his supporters. But here we have something new – Trump issued an executive order Monday suggesting that former President Joe Biden’s administration may have broken the law in what he has called ‘the weaponization of the federal government’ against political opponents. … Trump’s executive order about the weaponization of government reads like an instruction manual for weaponizing government.” (01/22/25)
