An annual report that grades counties on their level of freedom lambasts President Donald Trump. Freedom House, a government-funded non-profit. says “no president in living memory has shown less respect for [American] tenets, norms and principles.” It adds, “Trump has assailed essential institutions and traditions including the separation of powers, a free press, an independent judiciary, the impartial delivery of justice, safeguards against corruption, and most disturbingly, the legitimacy of elections.” Still, the group gave the United States a freedom score of 86 out of 100, the same as last year. Before Trump took office, the score was 90.
