Best-selling author, previous White House speechwriter, and Atlantic columnist and marketing commentator David Frum points out why Leader Trump has undermined our most important institutions with techniques even the most critical media has missed, in this thoughtful and hard-hitting publication that is clearly a caution for democracy and America's future. "From Russia to South Africa, from Turkey to the Philippines, from Venezuela to Hungary, authoritarian market leaders have smashed restraints on their power. Media liberty and judicial freedom have eroded. The proper to vote remains, but the to have one's vote counted pretty may not. Until the US presidential election of 2016, the global decrease of democracy appeared a problem for other individuals in other lands.... That complacent optimism has been upended by the political rise of Donald Trump. The turmoil is upon People in the usa, here and today." Quietly, continuously, Trump and his administration are destroying the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy, perhaps irrevocably. As he and his family enrich themselves, the presidency itself falls in to the hands of the generals and financiers who encompass him. While much of the united states has been focused on Russia, David Frum has been collecting the lays, obfuscations, and flagrant disregard for the original limits placed on the office of the presidency. In Trumpocracy, he documents how Trump and his administration are steadily destroying the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy. During his own White House tenure as George W. Bush's speechwriter, Frum witnessed the ways the presidency is bound not for legal reasons but by tradition, propriety, and public outcry, all now weakened. If the Trump presidency will last two, four, or eight more years, he has changed the nature of the office for the worse, and likely for decades. With this powerful and eye-opening publication, Frum makes clear that the hard work of recovery begins at home. Trumpocracy outlines how Trump could press America toward illiberalism, what the consequences could be for our land and our daily lives, and everything we can do to prevent it.
