Summary
US President Donald Trump, described as a chief law-enforcement officer, has deployed gangs of criminal thugs to opposition-led cities. He has also sued a government agency that he oversees for $10 billion. The description characterizes his exercise of power as taken to an absurd extreme, noting that he rules a state he seeks to destroy.
