How many times have you heard it? “No one is above the law.”
Yet that aphorism of American democracy has been a myth when it comes to presidents.
Fortunately, few presidents have shown such a penchant for criminality as Donald Trump. And none have done so to a more heinous end: threatening our very system of government. To stay in office, he worked to overturn a historically free and fair election and to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Even in failing, Trump undermined democracy; many millions of Americans, Republicans, wrongly believe President Joe Biden stole the 2020 election.
