It’s like having a gun to defender yourself then the criminal takes it from you.
So are you comfortable with someone like Trump using those same tools?
Also, Trump could have been stopped by the processes in place in USA, they just were not properly used. There were several cases open against him, they just failed to do what they were supposed to.
And no, Trump couldn't have been stopped because the US has very limited rules over criminal convictions preventing running for President.
This isn't Europe ya know.
If this system had been in place when Nixon did his crimes, he would've just shrugged and kept going.
You are indeed not Europe now, not even close. Well, except for Hungary and Belarus.
In short, no, Trump should not be able to take these tools. But in actual democracies they have checks to ensure that this is not possible while in the US no such checks exist.
I asked if you would be comfortable if he did.
Either you believe it is possible to create a perfect political system which never makes a mistake, or you believe mistakes can be made thus those tools should never be available to those in power.
Which one is it?
I’m sure that encompasses all possible outcomes, so clearly it’s not false.
