The Atlantic Bears Witness to Trump’s Destructive Presidency
“In making our case that he was unfit to command, we called him 'a demagogue, a sexist, a xenophobe, a know-nothing, and a liar’. In retrospect, the only thing we are guilty of is understatement” #Orwellian
In a November 2016 editorial, The Atlantic warned that Donald Trump would be a threat to the republic—and a danger to democracy itself.
That was an understatement, argues editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg. In a new Atlantic Argument, Goldberg elucidates The Atlantic’s decision to analyze 50 of the most norm-bending, destructive, and improbable events of Trump’s presidency to date.
“This is not a partisan exercise,” Golberg says in the video. “Our list is comprised of incidents that we can’t imagine happening in any other presidency, Republican or Democratic.”
The Atlantic has only endorsed 3 candidates for president; Lincoln, LBJ and Hillary Clinton in its history.
“Trump expresses admiration for authoritarian rulers, and evinces authoritarian tendencies himself”
“I’ve covered politics for 30 years and I know that all politicians lie... Donald Trump lies when he doesn’t have to. He manufacturers facts as circumstance requires”
“Donald J Trump, 2 years into his presidency, remains a destabilizing force in our society and quite possibility a threat to our democracy.” #DictatorTrump

“Nobody in my administration got indicted”
“They promised they were going to take on corruption in Washington. Instead, they’ve racked up enough indictments to field a football team.”

Nearly six in ten Americans, 58%, believe Mr. Trump will be remembered as either one of the worst presidents in the nation’s history
And “Americans have low expectations for the administration of President Donald Trump.”

If everyone is open to a female president, how come we don’t have one?
