** Trump’s slandering America as a chaotic hellscape only he can rule
------------------------------------------------------------
By Will Marshall
Founder and President of the Progressive Policy Institute
for The Hill ([link removed])
Donald Trump ([link removed]) fires up his MAGA legions by telling them Democrats hate America. Like his stolen election lie ([link removed]) , it’s a textbook example of projection — charging his opponents with what he’s guilty of.
If you don’t think Trump detests the nation he aspires to lead, you haven’t been listening. Speaking recently before a rapt gathering of far-right activists, he sketched a nightmarish portrait ([link removed]) of a dystopic America overrun by “bloodshed, chaos and violent crime.”
The nation’s 45th president risibly miscast ([link removed](AP)%20%E2%80%94%20Former%20President%20Donald,his%20campaign%20in%20religious%20imagery.) himself as a “political dissident” bravely standing against ([link removed]) “thugs and tyrants and fascists, scoundrels and rogues” who are leading the United States into ([link removed]) “servitude and ruin.”

NEW PPI REPORT
[link removed]
The Biden Administration has prioritized promoting competition in the U.S. economy, in which antitrust enforcement and merger control play a central role. The Biden Administration’s strategy is notable in that it differs from other pro-competition administrations. It features leadership sourced from the anti-monopoly movement that emphasizes concern with bigness, generating a robust debate over reconciling enforcement under the existing consumer welfare standard.
A new PPI report unpacks the Biden merger enforcement record based on data across three decades and five political administrations. Author Diana Moss finds that the Biden enforcers are more aggressive based on some metrics of merger enforcement, but lag behind on others.
