Analysis: Donald Trump promises a post-democratic second term
Monday, that’s his vision for a possible second term in office: overhauling the government so that it is not enduring but subjugated.“Trump and his associates have a broader goal,” Jonathan Swan, Charlie Savage and Maggie Haberman wrote: “to alter the balance of power by increasing the president’s authority over every part of the federal government that now operates, by either law or tradition, with any measure of independence from political interference by the White House.
The idea is uncomplicated: Make the bureaucracy fully accountable to the president. The downsides to this should be obvious, from eliminating enormous institutional knowledge to reinventing key systems of government every four to eight years. But it’s also easy to see the appeal to Trump, whose autocratic instincts are unsubtle. It would turn him from a president — one who presides over government — into the CEO of a private organization once again, with all that entails.
