28:50Now PlayingDonald Trump’s brazen power grab in Washington, D.C. has sparked outrage, with loyalists taking control of critical levers of law enforcement.
DESCRIPTION:
🔥 Trump seizes control in Washington, D.C., installing loyalists in key power positions without any public mandate.
🔥 The takeover includes unprecedented influence over the D.C. police force — a move critics say mirrors authoritarian regimes.
🔥 This brazen action bypasses democratic norms and concentrates power in the hands of a twice-impeached, criminally indicted ex-president.
🔥 Civil rights advocates warn this is part of the "dictator playbook" — dismantling checks and balances to secure personal power.
🔥 The nation’s capital becomes ground zero for Trump’s escalating bid to dominate American politics.
