Canadian David Frum, a longtime commentator on Republican politics and former White House speechwriter for George W. Bush, takes a swipe at Trump’s many enablers: the GOP party faithful, Trump’s opponents, former FBI director James Comey, Vladimir Putin’s security apparatus, the FOX News fable machine, right-wing propagandists, the Hillary machine, Conservative campaign donors, disgruntled white male voters, and the list goes on.
But the part that really gets his back up is the depth of corruption seeping into the system, and the cynicism entering public discourse of the free press. Trump’s campaign personnel, his Cabinet appointees, and for sure his relatives are cashing in big time on this administration. All the while people grow less and less convinced that the fifth estate can right the ship.
American institutions are under a terrible assault from within. Their ability to govern at home, their ability to coordinate global issues with partners abroad is eroding so quickly that American influence is sure to weaken on the issues that matter.
Even when the day comes that Trump leaves the main stage — and for cryin’ out loud he’s only been in power a year and a half! — to what degree is he an avatar for American leaders to to come? The griping. The snivelling. The personal vendettas.
From the vantage point of his quiet home in Prince Edward County Ontario Frum sees rays of hope, while his neighbours prepare for a new Government in Ontario to sweep away the albeit less virulent corruption of the reigning Liberal Party.
