New York - Saba:
A New York Times report on Thursday criticized Donald Trump's rise to power, describing him as a "convicted felon who doesn't believe in the Constitution." Describing him as "a convicted felon who does not believe in the Constitution."
The report stated that for the first time in history, Americans elected a convicted felon as their president and returned to power a leader who tried to overturn previous elections, called for "ending" the constitution to regain his position, aspired to be a dictator on day one and vowed to "retaliate" against his opponents.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat , historian and author of Powerful Men from Mussolini to the Present, told the New York Times: "Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign to see American democracy as a failed experiment."
"By adopting language from the Nazi and Soviet lexicon, such as describing opponents as 'vermin' and 'enemy from within' while accusing immigrants of 'poisoning the blood of our country', and suggesting that he might use the military to round up opponents," she explained.
"Trump's victory means that this vision of America and the use of violence as a means of resolving political issues has triumphed," she emphasized.
The American report indicated that "Trump's victory adds new ammunition to the argument that the country is not yet ready for a woman in the Oval Office. Trump, who has been married three times, admitted to adultery and has been accused by more than 20 women of sexual misconduct, defeated for the second time a woman with more experience in public office than him, and according to polls, the majority of Harris' supporters were women while the majority of Trump's supporters were men."
