The ‘Mean Girls’ Presidency

Molly Jong-Fast draws a parallel between President Trump's administration and the high school social dynamics depicted in "Mean Girls," suggesting that it’s run by sycophants eager to please him without offering any real checks and balances. This comparison highlights the troubling lack of accountability in governance when the leader's controversial ideas go unchecked, raising concerns about the health of democratic processes. The analogy underscores how these dynamics, effective in a high school setting, are dangerously out of place in the high-stakes environment of the presidency.
