520 |a Quietly, steadily, Trump and his administration are damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy. As he and his family enrich themselves, the presidency itself falls into the hands of the generals and financiers who surround him. While much of the country has been focused on Russia, David Frum has been collecting the lies, obfuscations and flagrant disregard for the traditional limits placed on the office of the presidency. During his own White House tenure as George W. Bush's speechwriter, Frum witnessed the ways the presidency is limited not by law but by tradition, propriety and public outcry, all now weakened. He outlines how Trump could push America toward illiberalism, what the consequences could be for our nation and our everyday lives and what we can do to prevent it.
