The NYT argued that Trump’s election as President is a special danger to the United States, saying that Trump, who demanded loyalty and turned the Republican Party into a party, has greatly damaged the health of the Republican Party and American democracy.

The NYT emphasized that respect for procedures and the decision-making system stipulated in the Constitution are what guarantee America’s freedom, prosperity, and stability, and that Trump, who has a history of ignoring the Constitution, is putting all of this in jeopardy.

The NYT said that accepting the election results is supporting the Constitution and that respect for the process is more important than the presidency. Unlike previous presidents, Trump attempted to maintain power by staging a violent rebellion against the U.S. government even after losing the 2020 presidential election. pointed out.

The NYT said that Trump has continuously attacked officials in Congress, the Federal Reserve, the public health field, and the courts, denying their authority, and even for voters who support Trump’s policies, policies pursued through tactics that ignore the law are bound to be short-lived. He emphasized that we must keep in mind that there is no such thing.

The NYT pointed out that unlike other Republican presidential candidates, Trump’s basic difference is that he ignores the law, and that the earlier Trump drops out of the candidate race, the faster the Republican Party will be able to regain its role in the American system.
