The president of the United States is engaged in open and shameless corruption, defying the plain language of the Constitution and glibly defying the Supreme Court. He has ordered hundreds of people to be deprived of liberty in a foreign gulag, without charge or trial, and his administration is illegally impounding funds authorized by Congress. By year’s end, hundreds of thousands of people are projected to die because of his unilateral cuts to foreign aid, women and children wasting away from a lack of food or treatment for their HIV.
Few Democrats would disagree with that stark assessment of President Donald Trump and his first 100 days in office. Fewer still are willing to act on it.
