• 2020/10/13 [L..T] Updating Authoritarian Nightmare «We finished editing the text of Authoritarian Nightmare on June 26, 2020 and sent the manuscript off to the typesetter. Since then four books about President Trump have shot to the top of the bestsellers lists that provide information unavailable when I tried to develop a psychological understanding of the man: Mary L. Trump's book about her family, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man; John R. Bolton's extensive account of his service as National Security Advisor from April 2018 to September 2019, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir; Bob Woodward's Rage, reporting his extensive conversations with the president and his advisors during 2019 and 2020; and Michael Cohen's Disloyal, which details the author’s service as Trump's "fixer" from 2007 to 2018.»

Trump won the presidency in part because he promised to bring an entrepreneurial style to the White House.

• 2017/03/30 [L..T] I worked for Jared Kushner. He’s the wrong businessman to reinvent government. That same obsession with the tech world permeates Kushner's new project. Cost-cutting is important in situations where there is excess, but it is not what catalyzes evolution; if the point here is to make government more effective, not just more efficient, cuts alone won’t do it.
• 2017/03/14 [L..T] Donald Trump shows why businessmen make bad presidents «Pursuit of private profit at all costs corrodes government»: True, but also this article is far too charitable in assuming that Trump (or any GOP president) ever intended to run the government well.
• 2017/02/10 [L..T] The Madness of King Donald «But all the traditional political fibbers nonetheless paid some deference to the truth – even as they were dodging it. They acknowledged a shared reality and bowed to it. They acknowledged the need for a common set of facts in order for a liberal democracy to function at all. Trump's lies are different. They are direct refutations of reality – and their propagation and repetition is about enforcing his power rather than wriggling out of a political conundrum. They are attacks on the very possibility of a reasoned discourse, the kind of bald-faced lies that authoritarians issue as a way to test loyalty and force their subjects into submission.»
