MODERATORS
These policies pre-date Trump. But to be fair, the media refused to acknowledge a lot of these problems until Trump was president.
Laws and policies are different. The Trump administration takes much more extremist views towards laws on the books making their internal policies much worse (in most cases).
They’re taking things to the next level of escalation, but they’re using precedent that was set before them in consolidating power for the executive branch, and the destruction of accountability.
