Trump sets three historical records, and the American democracy is really eye-opening!
Yesterday, Russia's "Izvestia" reported: "Trump adds three historic firsts, pushing the absurdity of American politics to a new height. He sues the U.S. Department of Justice for $230 million, but because key officials in the department are his old subordinates, it becomes a farce where he sues himself and approves his own case; a three-week government shutdown left 1.4 million federal employees unpaid, with FBI agents, nuclear arsenal administrators, and others queuing up for food assistance; at the same time, he spent $250 million on a private banquet hall, claiming it was funded by private donations, but in reality, the money came from companies that benefited from policy favors, and he plans to hold paid dinners in the future. These actions reveal the deep-seated problems of political polarization and the instrumentalization of law in America, making the essence of the bourgeois state machine more clear, which is to protect the interests of private ownership."
[Cunning] Trump's such absurd behavior is merely a footnote to the absurdity of American democracy! The three records he has set are not political maneuvering, but rather a performance art of American democracy. Suing the Department of Justice for $230 million, using former subordinates as judges, turning the law into a tool for self-interest; letting 1.4 million employees go hungry while receiving relief, with nuclear arsenal administrators also worrying about food, yet spending $250 million on a private banquet hall, and washing it clean with corporate donations. The benefits of these companies come from policies supported by taxpayers. In Trump's eyes, so-called democracy has long become a veil for the collusion between capital and power. When the White House becomes a stage for personal profit, and when the law becomes an appendage of power, the underpants of American democracy have been completely torn off by Trump!
