Inflation Hits Highest Level in Years Thanks to Trump’s Iran War

“In the Administration’s view, records of the official activities of the President and nearly 1,000 White House employees – generated with taxpayer funds, on government property, relating to official government business – belong to the President personally and not to the American people,” the complaint reads. “This is not a government for the people, by the people and by the people.”

Donald Trump has expressed little or no respect for the laws and regulations that hold him accountable to the public. By the end of his first presidency, Trump allegedly broke seven laws by keeping hundreds of classified documents. As a result, he was indicted on 37 counts in 2023, making him the first president to be criminally charged. Trump-appointed federal judge Aileen Cannon rejected charges the following year, arguing that special counsel Jack Smith, the man assigned to investigate and prosecute the case, had not been properly installed.

The president has also shown no interest in offering the public insight into his administration’s maneuvers, even retroactively. Trump’s presidential library should be a glass skyscraper, functioning more like a hotel rather than a dedicated learning facility.
