It’s easy to cast Trump as antidemocratic and hostile to the rule of law. It’s harder to take on institutions and people such as Weiss who invoke ideas like the “free press” while actually advancing a right-wing agenda.

Hmm. We were still fighting in Afghanistan during Trump’s first term. How come we didn’t win “easy” then? Why did Trump sign a one-sided agreement with the Taliban that allowed them to take over?
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
