Former Special Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat
Donald John Trump, America’s 45th President, has many ignominious ‘firsts’ to his name. He is the first President to wage wars on his own government departments and the US media, denigrating them as the ‘Deep State’. He exonerated the Russian President at the Helsinki summit in 2018 from serious charges of aggressive electronic interference, thereby embarrassing his own agencies.
He insulted senior Senator Jeff Sessions a number of times, once calling him an ‘idiot’, while he was holding the post of Attorney General, which was created soon after the Constitution was framed in 1787. He is also the first President to be so openly exposed to allegations of predatory sexual deviations and corruption.
