WARNING: TRUMPS EXECUTIVE ORDERS THREATEN DEMOCRACY (bullet points)

Feb 19, 2025, 5:26 PM

President Trump’s latest wave of executive orders is sending shockwaves through the foundations of American democracy. While executive orders are a normal part of presidential authority, these new directives represent a dangerous consolidation of power, undermining the system of checks and balances that keeps our government accountable.

🔴 INDEPENDENT AGENCIES UNDER SIEGE
Trump’s executive order forces independent regulatory agencies—like the FTC and SEC—to submit their rules for White House approval. These agencies were designed by Congress to function independently, free from political interference. Now, their ability to hold corporations accountable and regulate industries is compromised. This move centralizes control in the executive branch, effectively stripping these watchdogs of their autonomy.

🔴 ONLY TRUMP AND HIS ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN INTERPRET U.S. LAW?
Another executive order declares that ONLY the President and the Attorney General have the authority to interpret U.S. law for the executive branch. This is an outright power grab, silencing legal opinions from government agencies and undermining legal checks on presidential authority. Imagine a government where one man dictates the law without question—this is exactly where we’re headed.

🔴 MASS FIRINGS & PURGE OF FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
Trump has fired 17 independent inspectors general—key oversight officials tasked with investigating fraud, corruption, and abuse in government. These watchdogs serve as critical checks on government power, ensuring ethical behavior and accountability. By removing them en masse, Trump is dismantling safeguards that prevent executive corruption.

💡 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR AMERICA?
These executive orders are not just bureaucratic reshuffling—they are direct assaults on democracy. The Constitution was designed to prevent unchecked power, but Trump’s latest moves consolidate authority in ways that weaken the legislative and judicial branches.

🔊 SOUND THE ALARM: DEMOCRACY IS AT RISK
If these orders stand unchallenged, America moves closer to authoritarian rule, where one leader wields unchecked power. It’s time to wake up and take action—our democracy depends on it.
