The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment fury at a rigged economic system.
To counter Trump’s fake populism and his culture wars, progressives should mount a real battle against economic elites who have shafted America’s middle and working classes.

If the founders of our country had intended for their leader to be above the law, they would have created a monarchy with an explicit provision that the monarch is above the law. Instead, they created a president, equal before law, with provisions for the president's removal if necessary.
