At the heart of this book is the idea that President Trump’ s governingstyle has been a prelude to the semi-democratic authoritarian governmentthat could take hold after the white majority of voters, who havethe keys to wealth and power today, become a minority around 2050.With this in mind, the book analyzes Trump’ s attempt, squeezed betweentwo impeachments in a single term – an all-time record – , murkyrelations with Russia and policy choices that are disrespectful of lawsand the Constitution, to accredit himself as a plebiscitary leader andinfluencer of the nation, with claims of being a powerful man capableof acting with impunity, unchallenged and beyond the classic checksand balances mechanisms.Trump has exposed the fragility of American democracy due to theinadequacy of its " immune defenses" and set off alarm bells about theneed for adequate reinforcements. The problem is all the more seriousbecause the weakening of American democracy could result in theshort-circuiting of other democracies in the rest of the world. In orderto prevent this from happening, as far as legal techniques can, the authorssuggest some steps that can be taken.
