Part 3/8:
There are indications that Trump's administration may endeavor to weaponize governmental authority against critics, not just at the press level, but across all institutions that challenge his viewpoint. The outgoing chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reacted to Trump's demands for revoking broadcast licenses from media outlets he disapproves of, emphasizing that such action would breach ethical boundaries.
Moreover, Trump’s comments about possibly employing the military domestically to suppress opposition highlight the gravity of the situation. Reports have surfaced suggesting that Trump may establish new oversight boards to remove or purge military officials who do not align with his political beliefs, raising alarms about the politicization of the armed forces.
