"National security" becomes Trump's executive sledgehammer

President Trump has been using the concept of national security to justify a range of controversial decisions, from banning certain journalists to constructing large structures and pursuing strategic interests in Greenland. This approach has led to the breaking of several presidential norms. As Trump's administration continues to frame its sweeping changes with a focus on national security, it raises significant questions about the balance between executive power and established norms. This shift underscores the broader implications for the future of governance and the role of national security in policy-making.
