Abstract
The article examines the erosion of the rule of law in the United States during President Trump's administration, highlighting how his approach reflects a broader historical trend of political manipulation of legal systems. It discusses the precedents set by previous administrations, particularly regarding prosecutorial discretion and equal protection, and how Trump has utilized these to his advantage, often targeting political opponents through legal means. The article also notes the implications of Trump's actions on due process and the legal landscape, including his controversial executive orders and the politicization of law enforcement. Ultimately, it suggests that while Trump's legacy includes significant judicial appointments, the enduring respect for the law in American culture may provide a counterbalance to his administration's excesses.
