President Donald Trump’s targeting of perceived enemies has deeply affected journalist Richard Wolf’s entire family. Despite their diverse professions in journalism, therapy, law, and education, they find themselves on the president’s “enemies list,” reflecting a concerning trend that many Americans feel has gone too far.

The Trump administration’s actions have directly impacted Wolf’s family members. From banning media outlets like The Associated Press for not conforming to specific language to threatening law firms with loss of federal contracts, Trump’s reach extends to education, scientific research, and health care. Wolf’s wife, daughter, and brothers-in-law, experts in community service, law, and scientific research, have all faced repercussions from Trump’s policies, including cuts to funding and threats to their fields.

Furthermore, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s stance on autism has directly contradicted Wolf’s personal experience with his autistic son, who excels in various activities. This personalization of political decisions highlights the disconnect between policy and reality.

Wolf raises important questions about the impact of Trump’s actions on noble causes like education, health care, civil rights, and a free press. As the Wolf family navigates these challenges, they advocate for a shift away from retribution towards liberation, emphasizing the need for a return to principles that uphold societal well-being and progress.
