Is it the right?
Is it a new party?
What it happens to address?
And does it have to be a president who is maximally incompetent from a policy perspective or authoritarian in impulse or is personally kleptocratic?
Those are three descriptors of Trump that I think apply to a more extreme version with him than with any presidents in American history.
I'm less concerned about the revolution.
It is a natural response to a system that's not seen as performing.
But there are lots of reasons to be concerned about what President Trump is doing.
Well, it's why I focused on the narcissism, that he is above the law.
It should not apply to him.
It shouldn't apply to people around him.
He can have his own former personal attorney as the attorney general, acting attorney general of the United States, and he will...
weaponize the legal and the judicial system in ways that he perceives it was weaponized against him.
But the reality is what he's doing is far, far beyond what we've seen before, just as we've had corruption in the country and it still persists across the political spectrum.
And yet what Trump is personally driving is unprecedented.
in American history.
So I do think a lot of what he's trying to do is specific to his personal character.
But I also think a number of the policies that he has been driving are policies that are broader in terms of the more revolutionary aspect of what the American people want.
So for example, we come out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Trump was the one that basically cut the deal with the Taliban to get the Americans out of Afghanistan.
