The accumulation of power in the Oval Office and a tiny group of aides around him, some of whom are even more extreme than Trump. I don't think Trump is extreme in the old sense of the word. He's just all for himself. His personal pronouns are me, myself, and I. But the people around him

clearly want to amass as much power as possible, as early as possible, and head off all of the checks and balances. So what am I most concerned about? I would say the potential for ignoring court decisions, which is very real. They're trying to eat at the edges of this with some of the moves they've already made. That would worry me more than anything else.

But I'm concerned about everything you mentioned. We all want to be concerned about all of that because it all fits together. It's all roads lead to the Oval Office, except that's not what the founders wanted. And it's not how we practice politics for all of these years.

Well, at base, it's civic education, which is what my Center for Politics is dedicated to and is trying to do something about at the lowest possible levels, meaning starting in kindergarten and going through at least high school and maybe junior colleges as well.

They have to be willing to remember that citizenship in America doesn't require very much anymore, but at a very minimum, it requires that citizens pay attention to big events. And they don't. I think the New York Times had a piece of a poll recently over the weekend where they separated Americans into people who follow the news carefully and people who don't.

And the people who followed the news carefully were much more critical of Trump and much more concerned about what he was doing. And the people who didn't follow what was happening in the news thought a lot of what Trump was doing was just fine. They were much more inclined to support him.
