He really has hired officials with ties to white nationalist groups. But things could always get worse. There really are leaders who suspend elections, dissolve legislatures, throw large numbers of citizens into camps without trial or appeal, who turn their nations into one-party states oriented around a cult of national rebirth. It came terrifyingly close to happening in Greece, where the explicitly neo-Nazi Golden Dawn became the third-largest political party in the mids.
And if and when it does happen in America, we need to have the right terms and tools to confront it. But now, after Charlottesville, we have the Proud Boys and the aggression against the governor of Michigan.
So Trump gets closer to having his own SA [the Nazi paramilitary group], a sobering thought as the election approaches. But there is still no state management of the economy here as there was to a degree in Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. Although my position has not changed on Trump — less fascist than kleptocrat, more egoist than radical-right ideologue — that does little to mitigate the danger.
Four months ago , I warned that Trump was descending into naked authoritarianism. Low-information commentators seek to reassure rather than dig deeply, telling readers to look on the bright side. That the US is an exceptional country. Democratic regression and political polarization are not unique to the US. Having more guns than people is. So are militias, usually formed of lower- and middle-class white Americans harboring anti-government sentiments.

Nothing much to work with here. Mostly these are just silly public remarks. Please do not trivialize. That indicates absence of an argument. And that is not the same as an ideologue.
He does not pose a challenge to constitutional democracy. He certainly poses a great challenge to liberalism and liberal democracy. And I think real favor will be served by journalists who, instead of seeing liberal democracy as a single entity, see it as a binomial. He asks us not to condemn the Muslim Major who killed 13 Americans. He has never served in the military and is our commander in chief and dallies response to battle-weary generals, asking for more troops.
There has been no other president in the history of the U. Obama is the most disliked president that I can remember in my 54 years of voting. It didn't make sense. The Lewinsky scandal, Bill's confession: "I was just devastated. I could not believe it. I was so personally hurt and, you know, 'I can't believe this, I can't believe you lied.
Her husband's impeachment: "I had the extra burden of having been on the impeachment staff back in during Watergate. I had done the research about what is a high crime or misdemeanor. I knew what the standards of impeachment were. I knew this did not meet it. He shouldn't have done what he did. He shouldn't have tried to hide it. But it was not an impeachable offense.
Daniel Arkin is a reporter for NBC News who focuses on popular culture and the entertainment industry, particularly film and television. IE 11 is not supported. The date and location of the conversation are not clear, but the clip was recorded by a camera team hired by the Clinton campaign, according to NBC News. Obama has rarely spoken out against Trump since leaving office. The upcoming documentary also sparked interest earlier this week after The Hollywood Reporter reported that Clinton attacked Sen.
