Trump's actions are part of a broader pattern of consolidating power and punishing dissent. His rationale—that the federal government is failing the American people and that investigations against him were politically motivated—is used to justify these actions. However, these actions undermine institutional checks and balances and potentially violate legal protections for career officials.
