Michael Cohen - Trumpism Doesn't Compromise -- It Consumes

Once upon a time in Washington, there was at least a performance of compromise; a little political kabuki where Democrats and Republicans would shake hands, slap each other on the back, and pretend they were working in the same America. That’s over. Dead. Buried. Cremated. And the ashes? Well, they’ve been handed over to President Trump to scatter over whatever gold-plated fantasyland he’s building in his head.

What’s happening now isn’t about negotiation, and it’s not about shared governance. It’s about bending the entire machinery of government — every institution, every lever of influence — to serve one ideology: Trumpism. Not Republicanism. Not conservatism. Trumpism. That’s an entirely different beast. It’s not a political philosophy; it’s a loyalty test. And in Trump’s America, you’re either a loyalist or you’re an enemy.

The MAGA-fied GOP isn’t just aiming at the usual suspects — the “woke” universities, the environmental agencies, the media. Now, the crosshairs are on places most Americans assumed were apolitical sanctuaries. The Smithsonian. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Institutions dedicated to preserving our history and culture are suddenly “too liberal,” “too woke” for the Trump crowd and must be remade in the leader’s image. Even the Bureau of Labor Statistics — yes, the people who count jobs — is seen as a dangerous, left-leaning hive that needs to be “corrected.”

And don’t even get me started on law enforcement. The Trump playbook is simple: federal law enforcement must be gutted, defanged, and reconstituted as a political weapon. First, it was the FBI and DOJ under constant attack. Then, D.C. police authority came into question. Next stop? Your town. If you think local sheriffs, state police, and prosecutors are immune to this takeover, you haven’t been paying attention. The endgame is a system where law enforcement doesn’t just enforce the law; it enforces Trump’s law.
