David Frum: Trump’s a ‘Gum Disease, a Festering Rot’

RUSH EXCERPT:
FRUM: "He is part of a system and this is, I think — I have T T big arguments in this book that I think are important for people to understand. The first is as spectacular as the personality of Donald Trump is, presidents do not rule alone and the threat toemocracy does not come from the high-handed actions of one individual. They need to be part of a larger system. The Trumpocracy is the system of Donald Trump’s power. The second idea I want people to take away, Donald Trump is not a heart attack to American democracy. It’s not like he’s going to overthrow the system in one night. This is slow decay. It’s gum disease. It is a festering rot that will have its effect over months and years."
