Blocking Windmills? Banning Press? Building an Arch? Trump Cites National Security.

The president is turning to national security arguments to defend various controversial plans, including a proposed triumphal arch that he now claims will feature snipers and drones. This move has sparked debate about the extent to which executive authority can be invoked in the face of legal challenges. While such measures might be seen as necessary for national protection, critics argue they could undermine democratic norms and civil liberties, raising significant questions about the balance of power in the country.
