"Trump's Evasive Stance on Power Abuse Raises Concerns"

During a Fox News town hall, former President Donald Trump avoided directly answering a question about whether he would abuse power or seek retribution against political enemies if reelected in 2024. Instead, he pointed to his own indictments and dismissed the charges as "made up." Trump's campaign and allies have long planned to wield executive power in unprecedented ways, including asserting more control over the Justice Department to seek revenge on critics. Legal experts warn that if Trump pursues this blueprint, it would lead to legal battles and clashes with Congress over presidential authority. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has cited the threat of another Trump presidency as central to his rationale for seeking a second term.
