A lifelong New Mexico Republican, George Sharpe, has questioned President Donald Trump's methods and actions that he believes conflict with constitutional principles, longstanding norms or basic expectations of governance. Sharpe criticizes the military birthday parade, changing the names of the Gulf of Mexico and the Department of Defense, pardoning rioters, giving access to investors in his crypto, weaponizing the Department Of Justice, accepting the jet from Qatar, and criticizing the administration's efforts to expand rapid deportations and reduce due-process protections. He also criticizes his approach to safe cities and government efficiency, which he argues is ineffective and destructive for morale. Sharpates that Republicans in Congress, who often defer to him without question, appear to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome"
