An article from the American website AlterNet, shared by the IRGC Cyber Corps, argues that traditional constitutional oversight mechanisms like Congress and the Supreme Court have become ineffective against President Donald Trump's management style. The piece contends that when a president acts on personal image over national interest and ignores professional advice, the legal structure reaches a stalemate. It concludes that the only viable way to contain Trump is through a powerful civil and social movement. This would require pressure from below, including widespread protests, local organizing, and structured civil disobedience to influence his political calculations.
