So Democrats hate Trump for the unforgiveable crime of not being a Democrat. (Former) #neverTrump Republicans like me hate him for things like this. It's never okay to ask the country's secret policy to suppress news stories. Ever.
It's not an isolated incident. It's how he appoints incompetent politicians to the FED to get them to stop raising interest rates so he can brag how high the stock market is going. It's how he tells border control to commit crimes with promises of pardons if they do so.
Yes, Obama did a couple of bad things as well, such implementing DACA as an executive order when it should've been done with a law from Congress. But it was nothing on the scale of Trump.
The reason Venezuela imploded into a hellhole wasn't (just) because of socialism. It was because they politicized every non-political institution. The reason they have a million% inflation isn't because of socialism, but because they politicized their central bank how Trump wants
The long term problem isn't Trump, who'll be in office in max 6 years, but that the populist Democrat that comes after him will likely be just as bad. Already we see bad behavior in Congress justify their bad behavior by pointing to Republican bad behavior.
