In his second term in the White House, Donald Trump is increasingly exhibiting characteristics reminiscent of a mafia boss rather than a democratic statesman. His behavior, marked by threats, vendettas, and political bullying, more closely mirrors the infamous gangster Al Capone than a modern-day leader of the free world.

However, legal challenges may complicate the formal registration of the America Party. In states like New York, for example, electoral laws prohibit political organizations from using the word “American” or........
