Constitutional Crisis: Trump's Path to Power

If you are concerned that America is facing a constitutional crisis and heading towards a Donald Trump dictatorship, please check out this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast.

Attorney and legal thriller author Mark M. Bello says our country, indeed, is in a constitutional crisis spurred by Donald Trump's actions, all aimed at solidifying his path to unrestrained power.

In this episode, Bello and host Bob Gatty discuss Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport nearly 200 immigrants he claims are vicious gang members, his defiance of judicial orders, and the implications for U.S. democracy and the judicial system.

Bello says the recent Supreme Court's decision protecting the president from prosecution for official presidential actions, combined with the Republican-controlled Congress' failure to restrain him, means that America's system of checks and balances through three equal branches of government is in serious jeopardy.

The discussion also touches on public resistance, impeachment challenges, and the role of Elon Musk, whom Trump has put in charge of his plan to essentially dismantle the federal government.

Bello draws upon his wealth of experience to provide legal insights and hints at the parallels in his legal thriller series, with a special mention of his book 'Betrayal of Justice.' Here's a convenient link to his books on Amazon. https://amzn.to/4bSIxTU
