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
