The Danger of a Second Trump Administration

The upcoming presidential election is considered one of the most dangerous in recent history. The guest, Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, believes that a second Trump administration would make previous administrations, such as Nixon's, look mild in comparison. The risks and potential consequences are seen as incalculable, with concerns ranging from efforts to gut the civil service, a lack of competent advisors, and Trump's sole emphasis on loyalty over competency. The potential for a second Trump term to severely undermine American democracy and irreversibly change the nation is a significant fear for many who believe in a democratic system.
