"Trumpism trashes moral norms in every direction, riding forward on a tide of adultery, abuse, cruelty, immaturity, grift, and corruption. Conservatives once believed in constitutional government and the Madisonian separation of powers; Trump bulldozes checks and balances, declaiming on social media, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law." Reagan promoted democracy abroad because he thought it the political system most consistent with human dignity; the Trump administration couldn't care less about promoting democracy"or about human dignity."
