The Man Behind Trump’s Push for an All-Powerful Presidency
www.nytimes.com
A white, Christian nationalist, authoritarian and oligarchic America is a retrograde step for the US and for the rest of liberal, democratic world. Effectively, America is choosing to join the likes of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran. This takeover is unconscionable.
