That doesnt preclude the possibility of a local Racial Coalition to strike a blow to what capitalism is, the contradiction is in full view, the last 40 or 50 years in reaganism, a deal bankrupt. All of the contradictions are in full view so part of what we are seeing in the streets, young folk who have come of age and the age of catastrophe your accumulated grief, protesting over police brutality, use your kind of solidarity and vulnerability the pandemic has generated but the judgment underneath it, the countries broke, we see all these groups and coalitions out in the streets risking their lives.

You summarize the overall argument of the book that donald trump, quote, has returned to the frames original vision of the presidency, and office of unity, vigor and independence in securing the benefits of an energetic executive, trump may have done the nation his greatest service. Elaborate on that and describe the argument of the book. Guest that is great writing. I should have taken a third of the words out of that. One long sentence. A fair summary of the book. When trump ran for president i was wary of him. He wasnt my first pick for president and one reason i was wary of him is he is a populist in the constitution fears populists.
