Why Aren't We in the Streets?
Briefly

The article highlights a series of drastic actions taken by President Trump following the dismissal of the Joint Chiefs chairman. Amid a backdrop of military and governmental reorganizations, Trump has implemented significant workforce reductions and altered U.S. foreign policy to align with authoritarian regimes. This shift includes limiting press access to government events and imposing tariffs that could exacerbate inflation. The piece contrasts American public response to historical protests in Germany and France, questioning the lack of outrage over these unprecedented developments.

Trump's recent moves, including firing agency heads and reshaping foreign policy, starkly demonstrate a shift away from traditional American values and alliances.
