A strange promise, given Trump’s repeated accusation that the Democrats weaponized the justice system against him.

Trump doesn’t have issues with weaponizing the justice system; he has issues with being the target of justice.

From the article:

In return for the promise of two chickens in every pot, and deporting millions of migrants, the majority of voters were prepared to look the other way on what used to be core American values. They shrugged off the rule of law, freedom of the press, support for democracy at home and abroad, and basic civility in the nation’s public discourse.

From FDR:

"Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership,"

...

"Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat."

She's a Canadiam citizen, but born in the Philippines and ethnically Philippino. In case you were suggesting she was First Nations, Inuit, or Metis.
