When major landmarks like the East Wing of the White House are demolished or places such as the Kennedy Center are vandalized, public outrage and opposition grow more intense and vocal.
Donald Trump’s actions are causing a significant internal dismantling of the federal government. Take the Department of Education, for instance; it remains in name but is effectively crippled. Staff have been dismissed, sections shut down, and its operations have largely stalled.

After Senate Republicans confirmed Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, as the Attorney General, his objectives at the Department of Justice soon became apparent.
During an appearance on NBC’s Meet The Press, Kristen Welker questioned Blanche. She said, “We appreciate you being here in person. As we just heard in your address to the Justice Department staff this week, you said you and the DOJ will, quote, ‘uphold the law without fear or favor.’ You of course used to be President Trump’s personal defense attorney. Can you pledge that the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House?”
Welker further inquired about the DOJ’s historical independence from political influence by the White House. Blanche responded that such independence should not exist in any presidential administration.
