Guys,
Look, most people here want public arrests and accountability. I feel the same way—there’s something about seeing justice happen openly that resonates with a lot of us. It’s the transparency that people are craving, and many believe it’s necessary to restore faith in the system.
However, I just have a feeling that Trump is not going to want to arrest anyone publicly. From what I gather from him, he seems to be more concerned with avoiding any actions that might resemble political persecution. He knows that in third-world countries, it’s common for leaders to arrest their political opponents in a very public manner, often as a show of force or control. I don’t think Trump wants to set that kind of precedent in America.
While we might want visible justice, I’m not sure that’s the route he’ll take. It’s possible he’s thinking more about the long-term implications for the country. If arrests or legal actions are taken against those responsible for any wrongdoing, I suspect it will be done quietly, behind the scenes. We might not even know about it. It’s likely that he believes in addressing the root problems within the system, rather than putting people on public display, which could risk turning the country into an even bigger political battleground.
From what I can tell, Trump seems to care more about fixing the system in a way that ensures lasting change. He may believe that throwing people in jail won’t solve the core issues and that a more thoughtful approach to reform is the answer. If people are arrested or sent to places like Gitmo, I have a feeling it will be done privately and discreetly, with no big announcements to the public.
At the end of the day, his focus might be on stabilizing the country without inflaming tensions even further. Public arrests could provoke backlash or create a cycle of political retribution that does more harm than good in the long run. Instead of making a spectacle, he might prefer to quietly address these issues and avoid the appearance of using political power for personal vendettas.
What are your thoughts on this?
Do you think quiet actions behind the scenes would be more effective in the long run, or do you believe that public accountability is absolutely necessary to restore trust in the system?
How would the public respond if these arrests happen, but no one knows about them?
Could secrecy undermine the very accountability people are asking for, or is it a necessary part of maintaining order in a highly charged political environment?
good point.
