They can destroy trust in government to protect and enhance their own power, while destroying our credibility abroad as foreign dictators cheer them on. They can seize power illegally, if "the establishment" lets them.
If that upsets ordinary retired folks like myself, far from Washington, I THANK GOD it upsets "the entrenched political elite" and motivates them to oppose his return. You listening Kevin McCarthy?
And actually, many people ask how politicians making less than 200k a year become multimillionaires by the time they leave office. They also ask how politicians use their office to fill their own pockets while obstructing investigations into financial wrongdoing.
"Leftists" are all about that, have been for centuries, literally, but also "the media" generally.
Not the best point in defense of a twice-impeached president who never released his tax forms and can no longer get business loans in the U.S.
For the Love turn MSDNC off and open your eyes. Hand grenade on foreign policy? He started no new wars during his term of office, was winding down Afghanistan, made European nations abide by their financial commitments to NATO, which is paying off big now. Set record sanctions on Russian. Negotiated more favorable trade deals with China. Brokered 2 historic peace deals in the middle east with Israel and it's historic enemies. Had N. Korea sitting quietly. And you have zero idea about his tax forms, but you know who does?? The IRS, and they apparently have no problem with them.
