Opinion | The Greatest Threat Posed by Trump
  + stars: | 2024-01-12 | by ( David French | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
In December, I wrote about the moral devolution of Rudy Giuliani and of the other MAGA men and women who have populated the highest echelons of the Trump movement. I live in the heart of MAGA country, and Donald Trump is the single most culturally influential person here. It is common for those outside the Trump movement to describe their aunts or uncles or parents or grandparents as “lost.” They mean their relatives’ lives are utterly dominated by Trump, Trump’s media and Trump’s grievances. But never before have I seen extremism penetrate a vast American community so deeply, so completely and so comprehensively. They went from least likely to most likely to excuse the immoral behavior of politicians.

This is the first time a former American president has been arraigned on federal charges. Jill Filipovic Courtesy of Jill FilipovicFormer President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to all 37 federal charges at a federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday afternoon. The indictment says that Trump willfully retained national security information, violated the Espionage Act more than 30 times, and conspired to obstruct justice, among other crimes. What is clear, though, is that this case will be a test of the US justice system and the strength of national institutions in a (for now) post-Trump America. Any president who is found to have used national security documents for bragging rights and flouted American law must be held accountable.

LAS VEGAS — Jim Marchant, the election-denying Republican nominee for secretary of state in Nevada, has so far been outspent and out campaigned by his Democratic opponent. Davis, a Republican, said he “hadn’t thought much” about whether the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and remained undecided in the secretary of state race. The dynamics in Arizona’s secretary of state race are similar. He and Marchant, as well as Kristina Karamo, the Republican secretary of state nominee in Michigan, are all members of the pro-Trump America First Secretary of State Coalition, though polling shows Karamo’s race is far less competitive. “This could be the last free and fair election in Nevada,” West said.
President-elect Joe Biden will probably govern with a divided Congress, and will need to bring different factions together to get things done. During the presidential campaign, multiple Republicans such as former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake and Cindy McCain broke with their party to support Biden. Biden will need to win over the support of centrist Republicans in Congress to enact policies and confirm judges and Cabinet members. Outside groups that influence public opinion and help to elect Democrats will need to get onboard with Biden's positions or would otherwise mobilize opposition. Here's the list of the top 26 most influential centrists Biden will lean on to enact his agenda.

America First Action, the most notable super PAC backing President Donald Trump, has directly criticized Hollywood.

Bill Pugliano/Getty ImagesTrump continues to profit from HollywoodIn messages to supporters this year, Trump has decried "liberal HOLLYWOOD donors" and "MEGA HOLLYWOOD DONORS," while his son Donald Trump Jr. has castigated the "Hollywood Elite." As president, Trump's pension earned him more than $84,000 in 2017, about $91,000 in 2018, and about $78,000 in 2019, his personal financial disclosures showed.
