Law and Order as the Foundational Paradox of the Trump Presidency
The Trump presidential campaign began with a promise to the national public: Then-candidate Trump would restore law and order upon entering the White House by, among other things, ending the supposed free rein given violent criminal predators by Democratic Party politicians. Yet the Trump White House, time and again, showed open contempt for rule-of-law principles. Concurrent with its law-and-order stance, the Administration exhibited criminal behavior and routinely attacked the legitimacy of the nation’s chief law-enforcement agencies.Even the most dedicated political observer would have struggled to track the scope of criminal lawbreaking under the Trump political regime. A full accounting of criminal transgressions by members of the Trump campaign and White House—a virtual crime spree within and around the federal executive—seems an essential first step toward appreciation of the relationship between law-and-order politics and rule-of-law principles under the Trump presidency.
