The article<\/a> discusses Washington Examiner senior writer Joe Concha’s rejection of New York Times columnist Ezra Klein’s claim that the Trump governance operates “like the Mafia.” Concha criticized Klein’s assertion on Fox news’s *Fox & Friends First*, calling it hard to take seriously.He pointed out that such criticisms were not made against the Biden administration, despite controversial actions<\/a> such as attempts to use the Department of Justice against trump and efforts in some states to block Trump from ballots. Klein had claimed on his podcast that Trump corrupts the government by using it to target enemies<\/a>, enrich himself, and consolidate power<\/a>, similar to Mafia tactics. Concha argues that strategies like causing a government shutdown to defeat Trump would harm the public and are motivated by power rather than improving the country. The article also notes an upcoming Senate deadline to fund the government by October 1.
