Letter: Trump down the path of demagoguery

(Evan Vucci| AP file photo) President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Friday, Feb. 21, 2020, in Las Vegas.

“I’m actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country. But I’ve chosen not to be involved.”

So said Donald Trump after he pardoned friends and campaign contributors, blasted prosecutors, verbally attacked a federal judge and tweeted for a more lenient sentence.

Hel-lo? Anybody home in the Republican Party? Mitch and his minions had to know that their vote would catapult Trump further down his path of demagoguery and autocracy.

I am anxious to see how the conservatives will blame an unleashed Trump on the liberals and fake news after Trump eventually turns on them once they finally realize Trump has gone too far.
