While the Voltaire Book Club is generally focused on history and philosophy books, once in a while we will feature a book on a controversial political topic. This is one of those books.
The book is Dictator from Day One: How Donald Trump is Overthrowing the Constitution and How to Fight Back, by Robert Tracinski. Tracincki publishes an online newsletter titled The Tracinski Letter. (LINK)
In his short book, Tracinski argues that "the policies of Donald Trump’s second term in office are a political revolution against our constitutional order, concentrating all power in Trump’s hands and creating a system of one-man rule."
Let's consider the main points Tracinski makes, and ask:
- Which are the strongest?
- Which are the weakest?
- And what other information would we need on these points to more fully evaluate them?
