We live in an age where truth wears no crown. It walks barefoot through the alleys while lies ride away in limousines. The President of the United States - a man who revealed himself as an enemy of democracy from the very first day in office\u2014has now publicly stated that he doesn\u2019t know whether all people, citizen or not, deserve the right to due process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One must pause at such a sentence. Not because it surprises\u2014but because in its bluntness, it reveals everything one needs to know about the state of a democracy that is beginning to turn into a dictatorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kilmar Abrego Garcia\u2014a name we must remember\u2014was deported in legal shadow. No hearing. No judge. No defense. Just a flight, a disappearance, and a supposed photo that Trump waved triumphantly at reporters to justify his break with the law. Later, it was revealed to be doctored. A fabricated tattoo as justification for tearing up the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who acts like this, if not a dictator?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The greatest betrayal is not against a country, but against the idea of humanity. In Trump\u2019s words\u2014\"I don\u2019t know if they have the right to due process\" - this betrayal stands naked and unvarnished. Because due process is not a decorative relic of the West. It is the last shield of the vulnerable. Anyone who strips it away arbitrarily places himself above order, above the law, above human dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Russia, such a man is called \u201c\u0421\u0443\u0434 \u0431\u0435\u0437 \u0437\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0430\u201d \u2014 a court without law. In Turkey: \u201cDevletin eli kanl\u0131\u201d \u2014 the bloodstained hand of the state. In the United States, we call him President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while courts - even the Supreme Court - try to salvage the last remnants of justice, Trump plays for time. He does not call Salvadoran authorities. He ignores orders. He improvises a constitutional order in which the president is the judge\u2014and the court is a PR stunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What remains is not just the fear of America\u2019s further descent. What remains is the question: Who are we, if we allow one man to decide who counts as human, and who does not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Constitution is not a piece of paper. It is a contract of trust. And Trump is tearing it apart, page by page. Not in the night, not in secret\u2014but in front of the whole world. And every time we change the channel or fall silent, we add another paragraph to the history of contempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe dictatorship begins where doubt in the law becomes a political program.\u201d And we now live in a country where a president publicly admits he doesn\u2019t know whether people have rights\u2014simply because<\/p>\n
