What happens to democracy when a demagogue comes to power?
"It is hard to imagine understanding the Trump presidency and its significance without reading this book." (Bob Bauer, former chief counsel to President Barack Obama)
What - and who - is a demagogue? How did America's Founders envision the presidency? What should a constitutional democracy look like - and how can it be fixed when it appears to be broken?
Something is definitely wrong with Donald Trump's presidency, but what exactly? The extraordinary negative reaction to Trump's election - by conservative intellectuals, liberals, Democrats, and global leaders alike - goes beyond ordinary partisan and policy disagreements. It reflects genuine fear about the vitality of our constitutional system. The Founders, reaching back to classical precedents, feared that their experiment in mass self-government could produce a demagogue: a charismatic ruler who would gain and hold on to power by manipulating the public rather than by advancing the public good.
