The Observer view: Vengeful and reckless, Donald Trump must not go unchallenged | Observer editorial

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The treasury, the education department, the federal election commission and independent government watchdogs are all under the hammer wielded, principally, by Musk's so-called "department of government efficiency".
49% : He has demanded a halt to the rollout of EV charging stations, declared open season on wildlife and the environment by relaxing oil and gas drilling regulations, and withdrawn from the Paris climate agreement.
47% : The rise of Trump and like-minded far-right populists, lawless bullies and anti-democratic autocrats around the world is the great challenge of our age.
32% : His on-off tariff wars with China, Canada and, prospectively, the EU; his militarisation of migration policy along the US border with Mexico; his imperialistic vow to seize Greenland by force from Nato ally Denmark; and his disdain for the UN, typified by his withdrawal from the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council, are all decisions underscoring his broader contempt for the multilateralist, rules-based international order.
31% : Putting the anti-vax conspiracy theorist, Robert F Kennedy Jr, in charge of health and human services demonstrates how little Trump really cares about ordinary people's welfare.
31% : Trump, the convicted felon, proves each day that he is unfit for the high office he holds.
30% : Seeking revenge against those who tried to punish his attempted 6 January 2021 electoral coup, Trump is weaponising the justice department by executive order.
27% : By his destructive, vindictive, illegal and irrational actions, Trump sets himself beyond the pale.
21% : Trump the objectionable is setting the world on fire.
11% : Trump is treating federal government agencies like enemy territory to be stormed and purged of deep state, so-called woke and liberal elements.
