The Four Horsemen of the Trump Apocalypse Are Here

Trump’s shambolic rule and daily trespass on common decency grab media attention. Meanwhile, his four horsemen stalk the land.

Coercion

At the United Nations, Trump boasted, “We’ve recently begun using the supreme power of the United States military to destroy Venezuelan terrorists and trafficking networks.” Never mind that attacking ships in international waters is a crime. Never mind that instead of stopping the ships to show the world they were in fact carrying drugs, Mr. Trump simply ordered them, and everyone aboard, blown out of the water.

Corrupt Oligarchs

Every autocrat needs a powerful court. Trump is creating his own group of Oligarchs — wealthy men who will serve his interests. Because of Trump’s tax cuts, the country’s richest 400 people have gotten $1.2 trillion richer in one year.

Racism and Fear

Trump’s gospel teaches that God made America for Americans, and by Americans God meant white Christian men who would rule over everyone else. Firmly rejecting the idea of a country built upon many customs, many religions, and tolerance of differences, he told the United Nations that every nation must, “protect their communities and prevent their societies from being overwhelmed by people they have never seen before with different customs, religions, with different everything.”
