The ascension of Donald Trump to the Republican nomination for president must be one of the most remarkable events in American history. It seems likely that Hillary Clinton will win the presidency next month, but getting to the Republican nomination has been a dazzling achievement for Trump — and a tragedy for America. He imagines that anyone elected president immediately becomes a dictator, able to defy existing laws or even create new laws instantly. He believes that more guns will solve crime problems, so “I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools,” he’s said. Twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem.”While he thinks China cheats the U.S. on trade, he admires China’s unlimited repressive power.
