survive a second term of donald trump? the fact that it is an open question maybe i think is over norma s concern the fact that we are even talking about it is a worry and it s an actual credible question. i put something similar to a person who i think has exceptionally good judgment as really good student of history. that was donald trump s deputy director of national intelligence during the administration her name is su gordon. i asked her that question and she projected a little further and she said look i have low confidence that american democracy survives in any recognizable form to its 300th birthday if we put someone like that in the white house. that s 2076. my concern is a lot near term, and i actually don t believe that the american republic could cease stand a second term. so miles, would you say to those in the politics and media
