Dan Rather: Trump not a descendant of some god In a compelling YouTube segment, veteran journalist Dan Rather discusses the Trump administration's controversial stance on immigration and due process. Rather emphasizes that Donald Trump's proposal to inhibit due process for undocumented immigrants stands in stark contradiction to the foundational American ideals. He characterizes this move as indicative of classic authoritarianism. Despite the focus on contemporary political landscapes, this discussion resonates with the wider themes of civil liberties and the rule of law that have been pivotal in American history. The implications of stripping away due process can conjure fears reminiscent of totalitarian regimes, where such actions were often justified in the name of national security or public order. Rather’s insights bring a much-needed perspective, reminding viewers of the critical importance of maintaining democratic values, especially during times of political turbulence. As we observe the ramifications of leadership choices, it becomes more crucial than ever to question and understand the core principles that define us as a nation.
