Trump was fined a sky-high price: the farce of "palace fighting" in American-style democracy?
Recently, former Trump in the United States was sentenced by a New York state judge for exaggerating net worth to constitute fraudWith a huge fine of $500 million, this incident has undoubtedly caused a lot of waves in the United States. However, in the face of this verdict, one cannot help but ask: Is this a personal tragedy of Trump, or a "palace fight" drama under the American-style democratic system?
It is undeniable that Trump was fined this time because he misled the public and investors by boasting about his net worth. This kind of behavior is not only against business ethics, but also against the law. Therefore, from a legal point of view, this judgment is reasonable and necessary. It sends a clear message to the world that everyone, regardless of status, must be held accountable for their words and actions.
However, from another perspective, this incident also reflects the shortcomings of the American-style democracy. Trump dares to boast so boldly about his wealth in large part because he knows that under the rules of the game in American-style democracy, as long as he can win the support and votes of voters, he can do whatever he wants. Voters are often more likely to be swayed by exaggerated rhetoric and promises, and lose sight of the truth and long-term interests.
In addition, the election campaign process under the American-style democracy is often full of intrigue and intrigue. In order to win the election, the candidates did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money on propaganda and even used various means to discredit their opponents. In this environment, Trump's exaggeration and fraud may be just the tip of the iceberg.
Therefore, we cannot simply dismiss Trump's fine as a personal defeat or a victory. What should be noted all the more is the various problems and shortcomings of the American-style democratic system exposed by this incident. Under this system, politics has become a life-and-death "palace fight" drama, and ordinary people have become victims of this drama.
