Trump’s post-2025 actions—pardons, targeting opponents, press threats—spike democratic concerns amid fears of authoritarian erosion.
President Donald Trump’s actions since returning to office in January 2025 have raised alarms among experts, who note parallels with democratic backsliding in nations like Turkey, Hungary, and Venezuela.
He has swiftly consolidated power, pardoned over 1,500 January 6 defendants, pressured the Justice Department to target political opponents, threatened media outlets like ABC, and ordered military deployments to Democratic-run cities.
Critics warn these moves undermine checks and balances, erode judicial independence, and signal a pattern of using state institutions for political retribution.
While Trump denies authoritarian intentions, claiming his actions restore justice and combat left-wing violence, scholars highlight the U.S. lacks the societal readiness to resist such threats compared to countries with recent authoritarian experiences.
Despite intact institutions, the rapidity and overt nature of Trump’s tactics have sparked concern over the fragility of democratic norms in the face of concentrated presidential power.
