President Trump has stirred controversy with statements suggesting he might maintain power beyond constitutional limits. Critics are wary of his intentions, citing previous attempts to challenge election results. Many Republican leaders dismiss his comments as jokes, but they underscore a bizarre uncertainty about America's democratic foundation. Trump's actions raise worries among experts about the erosion of constitutional checks and balances, highlighting a potential threat to democracy that resonates amidst other pressing national issues.
"After all, Mr. Trump already tried once to hold onto power in defiance of the Constitution when he sought to overturn the 2020 election despite losing."
"This is in my mind a culmination of what he has already started, which is a methodical effort to destabilize and undermine our democracy so that he can assume much greater power."
