Robert Reich on Tuesday took a go back to analyze the “bigger picture” bordering President Donald Trump’s choice to freeze all federal grants and finances, which is currently the subject of a legal challenge.
It’s probably Trump’s “most brazen move yet since returning to office,” the Bill Clinton- age labor assistant composed on Facebook.
Reich recognized it “may seem like Trump just sowing more chaos and dysfunction as we’ve grown accustomed to” however advised “it’s deeper than that” and is “all part of Trump’s plan to consolidate power.”
That entails, kept in mind Reich: “Substituting loyalists for experts across the government, using retribution to intimidate others, purging the government’s independent inspectors general, giving the Defense Department more authority over civilian life (and putting a raving loyalist in charge), giving Elon Musk authority to cut spending and roll back regulations, and readying a massive tax cut for the wealthy and big corporations.”
Reich has actually been a long time movie critic of the returned head of state.
Last week, he warned in a point of view item for the British paper The Guardian regarding exactly how “Trump’s vengeance machine is even more dangerous than it was before” with its removing of protection from previous leading Trump assistants, regardless of trustworthy risks to their lives.
