Trump’s Authoritarianism Has Failed in One Critical Way

In a recent episode of Right Now With Perry Bacon, public policy professor Don Moynihan analyzes President Trump's efforts to consolidate power, using an "authoritarian checklist" he developed. Moynihan finds that while Trump has made several attempts to centralize authority, he has ultimately failed in one critical aspect. This failure is significant because it highlights a crucial weakness in Trump's approach to governance, suggesting that even autocratic strategies can encounter unexpected obstacles. The assessment underscores the unpredictable nature of political power dynamics.
