Core takeaway²
a. Don’t Panic, Trump Is Flagging
The president has done exceptional damage over the past year. Now he’s losing steam.
b. There are two important checks on Trump’s power.
i. The first and most important are elections
ii. The second check against Trump’s power lies in the courts. The lower levels of the federal judiciary have been blocking a host of Trump actions.
Trump’s second term has been much more destructive of American institutions and the international order than the first. It is important not to indulge in catastrophic thinking about, because it may become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Trump is weakening, and there is a decent change American institutions will hold.
