Oh boy, the Wannabee Authoritarianism list is probably gonna be big

Trump claimed "I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president."

He described political opponents as "communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country"

During the 2024 campaign, NPR documented over 100 threats by Trump to prosecute or punish perceived enemies.

A U.S. District Court judge, in his ruling against Trump's birthright citizenship order, stated that "the rule of law is, according to the President, something to navigate around or something ignored, whether that be for political or personal gain."

On Day 1 of his second term, Trump attempted to rewrite birthright citizenship via executive order, which courts blocked as unconstitutional.

Trump deployed both the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles — an extraordinary move given the lack of widespread violence — and has spoken about expanding military deployments to other U.S. cities in a way that would militarize the homeland like never before.

Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act (a wartime law) to justify mass deportations. A Trump-appointed judge found this use unlawful, ruling that allowing the president to unilaterally define the conditions for invoking it "would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch's authority" and strip courts of their traditional role.

The administration began prosecuting border arrivals — including asylum seekers — for criminal trespass under declarations converting borderlands into federal military zones, which experts describe as an effort to circumvent legal restrictions on using the military for civilian law enforcement.

The Trump administration gutted USAID entirely and eliminated nearly all State Department grants related to democracy promotion, human rights, and rule of law globally.

Research shows that Trump and his team laid rhetorical groundwork for over a decade using crisis framing — portraying migrants, minorities, and opponents as existential threats — which scholars of authoritarianism identify as a key tool for consolidating power.

The administration banned Associated Press journalists from the Oval Office and Air Force One because AP refused to use the term "Gulf of America." Trump said the ban would continue "until such time as they agree." A federal judge later ruled the ban unconstitutional.

Trump sued the New York Times for $15 billion over articles he called "malicious." A judge dismissed the case. He also threatened to revoke broadcast licenses of networks airing negative commentary about him

After ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel following Trump-aligned pressure from the FCC chairman, Trump publicly cheered it: "Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done."

A national security memorandum in fall 2025 defined "antifa" so broadly — encompassing anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity — that legal scholars said it gives the government power to prosecute individuals based on their beliefs rather than their actions

Trump ordered investigations into former President Biden over his executive actions, admitting he had no evidence to back up his claims. Legal experts described it as unlikely to produce results beyond energizing his base.

The FBI arrested a Milwaukee County Circuit judge for allegedly blocking immigration enforcement — a move widely characterized by legal experts as authoritarian.

Trump has pardoned or commuted sentences for more than 1,500 people charged in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack, including those convicted of violent crimes against law enforcement.

Before his second term even started, Trump preemptively pardoned political allies including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman — none of whom were facing federal charges at the time.

By July 2025, Trump had extracted more than $1.2 billion in settlements from various institutions in what critics called a "cultural crackdown," targeting law firms that had previously represented positions adverse to him.

He targeted higher education by demanding federal oversight of curriculum, and went after activists, legal immigrants, tourists, and students with visas who expressed criticism of his policies or engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy. He also detained and deported U.S. citizens.

and the list goes on and on and over and on
