There are moments in a nation’s life when words matter more than usual. When any president suggests, as President Trump did last week, that the only limit on his power is his own morality and his own mind, Americans should listen carefully.

Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro was an illegitimate authoritarian dictator who suppressed freedom and human rights. His removal gives the people of Venezuela a new opportunity to rebuild their democracy. Unfortunately, how President Trump achieved this result creates new anxiety about the state of our democracy.

The concerns of many Americans about their economic well-being may be at the highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Politico recently reported that 46% of Americans say their cost of living is the worst that they can remember, including over one-third of Trump voters. Nothing better exemplifies this than the many “30-somethings” who are unable to purchase a home.

In the normal course of history, the president of the United States is a figure who inspires optimism in the American people. The 47th president prefers to stir feelings of fear, vulnerability, hopelessness, and political inevitability—the sense that he, and only he, can rescue the nation from looming peril.
