Democrats in US are overwhelmed by the Trump blitz
In the three weeks since Donald Trump became the 47th president of the United States, all political opposition against him and his policies have been literally buried. The Democrats have vanished. They don't know how to react or what to do. It doesn't help that they don't have a leader. Kamala Harris hasn't yet worked out what her future is and there doesn't seem to be any clamour from her party for her to keep the baton and start fighting Trump. After her defeat by Trump in the election it's hardly surprising she wants to keep a low profile. But the Democratic party desperately needs a strong voice. The only opposition to Trump at the moment is coming from individual judges who have agreed with litigants seeking curbs on the president's more extreme executive orders.But the judges will probably be overturned in the higher courts. So who in the Democratic party is going to be brave and start sounding off against the new president's power-grabbing everywhere. Whoever it will be, he or she better be good and tough and challenging because Trump keeps on talking about how he might be able to serve a third term, even though the constitution forbids it. Seeing as how it's Trump musing on this possibility, it just might happen.
