Former President Donald Trump flouted the limits of presidential power unlike any of his recent predecessors, leaving behind a legacy of unmatched abuses that range from violations of longstanding norms to potentially criminal behavior.
Donald Trump wearing a hat© Provided by CNN It was hard to keep track amid the daily deluge of controversial tweets and distractions that were a hallmark of the Trump presidency. And some of the most egregious abuses of power weren't clear at the time but came into focus after exhaustive investigations.
To chronicle Trump's most consequential abuses of power, CNN spoke with a politically diverse group of constitutional scholars, presidential historians and experts on democratic institutions.
While these 16 experts did not agree on everything, there was consensus that Trump's pattern of abusing his powers for personal or political gain reached an alarming level that hasn't been seen in modern history, and will have long-lasting consequences for the future of American democracy.
Here is a breakdown of Trump's 10 most significant abuses of power.
#1: Subverting the 2020 election

By the way CNN wrote 3,690 words to describe their hatred of Donald J Trump.
What a steaming pile of crap.
In other words, they just don’t like him.
Was CNN making a list of what Trump did wrong or what Obama did wrong and what Biden is in the process of doing wrong?
CNN did the very same thing with Hussein, no?
ok, I’ll be the first...
1: The 2020 election had several illegal actions of fraud committed that are provable in an honest forum.
2: Read.The.Speech.
3: One man against the either Social/Media Onslaught? Really?
4: How so? So the LIE that because my political opponent committed felonies, espionage or treason, if I go after them it’s AUTOMATICALLY ‘politicizing the Justice Department’??? What kind of idiotic logic is that?
5: Did no such thing. In fact, offered FULL access to ALL of West Wing, lawyers, etc. They’re mad that $40MM/500S/etc produced Zilch.
6: Other than Jimmeh, DJT had LEAST abuse of Pardon power
7: READ.THE.TRANSCRIPT. 100% Legit
8: Again. Look at the proof - when 95% of those put in around him have back-stabbed, how else would a sane, normal person react? “Give me someone I can trust”
9: Name ONE who told the truth.
10: Name ONE instance.
So when does Trump Derangement Syndrome end? A sick adolescent getting back at his parents but still just as screwed up at age fifty-five? Or sixty-five?
When do Dems stop having their Trump version of “Dick Nixon to kick around any more” and “move on” as they told us to do about Bill Clinton’s crimes?
Boy is this wishful thinking! They should do Obama’s and start with the IRS scandal, Daca, DOJ giving fine monies to “liberal” orgs, Russia Collusion, HRC being cleared of Bengazi and EMail investigations, Fast and Furious gun running etc. a never ending list that grows month to month!
*3: either=*entire
CNN sucks and I don’t care to know what they think.
So incredibly unaware, or intentional projection on most of those.
Let’s make our list of CNN,NYT,WaPo and other leftist media outlets’ biased reports against Trump and the conservatives.
Media Res. Center has been keeping track of some. Maybe 25,000 threads here.
Better alert someone about our hogging of bandwidth if we start such a compilation.
This reads like some Soviet political manifesto against an overthrown political enemy.
Everything they list can in fact be taken as the exact opposite.
“...came into focus after exhaustive investigations...”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CNN and “exhaustive investigations” have no reason to be in the same story, much less the same paragraph....
BARF ALERT.
Give me a break! Honestly, what did Trump do that was so different from their beloved Uhbama and Klintoon?
Anyway, I’m shocked at #10 wasn’t “stole the 2016 election”, which would be a perfect counterpoint to #1.
It seems they needed up as a big nothing doesn’t it?
Well, you’re absolutely correct.
See my post #14
(Btw....Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals was a knock off title taken from Communist Rules for Revolution.)
Exactly. Great breakdown of the BS. I’m not reading that junk but thankful for those of you who did suffer through it.
CNN just trying to take the attention off of China Joe and his recent EO debacles.
