  • Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer
    Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).

  • The Case of Donald J. Trump†
    THE AGE OF THE WINNING EXECUTIVE: THE CASE OF DONALD J. TRUMP† Saikrishna Bangalore Prakash∗ INTRODUCTION The election of Donald J. Trump, although foretold by Matt Groening’s The Simpsons,1 was a surprise to many.2 But the shock, disbelief, and horror were especially acute for the intelligentsia. They were told, guaranteed really, that there was no way for Trump to win. Yet he prevailed, pulling off what poker aficionados might call a back- door draw in the Electoral College. Since his victory, the reverberations, commotions, and uproars have never ended. Some of these were Trump’s own doing and some were hyped-up controversies. We have endured so many bombshells and pur- ported bombshells that most of us are numb. As one crisis or scandal sputters to a pathetic end, the next has already commenced. There has been too much fear, rage, fire, and fury, rendering it impossible for many to make sense of it all. Some Americans sensibly tuned out, missing the breathless nightly reports of how the latest scandal would doom Trump or why his tormentors would soon get their comeuppance. Nonetheless, our reality TV President is ratings gold for our political talk shows. In his Foreword, Professor Michael Klarman, one of America’s fore- most legal historians, speaks of a degrading democracy.3 Many difficulties plague our nation: racial and class divisions, a spiraling debt, runaway entitlements, forever wars, and, of course, the coronavirus. Like many others, I do not regard our democracy as especially debased.4 Or put an- other way, we have long had less than a thoroughgoing democracy, in part ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– † Responding to Michael J.

  • Our Conspiratorial Cartoon President During Almost Comically
    Our Conspiratorial Cartoon President During Almost Comically Consequential Times December 2018, latest revisions June 12, 2020 "What we are before is like a strait, a tricky road, a passage where we need courage and reason. The courage to go on, not to try to turn back; and the reason to use reason; not fear, not jealousy, not envy, but reason. We must steer by reason, and jettison -- because much must go -- by reason." --- John Fowles, The Aristos (1970) I, Dr. Tiffany B. Twain, am convinced that we Americans could easily create a healthier, happier, fairer and more inclusive country that would give us greater cause for hope for a better future, and a country much more secure for its citizens. A main obstacle to this providentially positive potentiality is the strong opposition to such an eminently salubrious status by “conservative” rich people who want our economic and political systems to remain rigged astonishingly generously in their favor, so that they are able to gain an ever increasing monopoly on the profits made through the exploitation of working people and natural resources. A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite for ensuring that a democracy is healthy, and thereby offers all its citizens truly reasonable representation. This simple understanding makes both humorous and viscerally provocative a political cartoon by David Sipress that appeared in New Yorker magazine soon after the 2016 elections. In this cartoon, a woman ruefully observes to her male companion, "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane." Ha! Tens of millions of Americans find themselves in this predicament today, as the Donald Trump soap opera, crime saga, healthcare treachery, and interlude of authority abuses becomes increasingly dysfunctional, anxiety inducing and deadly -- and as Trump becomes more unhinged, sinisterly authoritarian and threatening to individual liberties, national security and our greatest American values.

  • Views with Most of the Key Players, Including the President
    Bob Woodward Two-Time Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist and Associate Editor of the Washington Post Bob Woodward gained international attention when he and Carl Bernstein uncovered the Watergate scandal in 1973. Since then, Watergate’s theme of secret government has driven Woodward’s tough but fair and non- partisan reporting. He pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of Washington; revealing in meticulous detail what’s really going on in the halls power. Have the lessons of Watergate been forgotten? Is the media doing its job? Woodward offers a historical perspective as only he can. Woodward has written about the last nine U.S. presidents and chronicled how the power of the presidency has evolved. He is author of 19 bestselling books – 13 were #1 – more than any contemporary nonfiction writer. His bestseller, Fear: Trump in the White House, is the deepest dive ever made into the first months of any American president. Woodward’s 20th book, Rage, goes behind the scenes of the Trump presidency like never before. Currently associate editor for The Washington Post where he’s worked since 1971, Bob Woodward has won nearly every American journalism award including two Pulitzers. Former CIA director and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wished he’d recruited Woodward into the CIA, “He has an extraordinary ability to get otherwise responsible adults to spill [their] guts to him…his ability to get people to talk about stuff they shouldn’t be talking about is just extraordinary and may be unique.” Therein lays the genius talent of Bob Woodward. No one else in political investigative journalism has the clout, respect, and reputation of Woodward.

  • Book Review: Rage by Bob Woodward Page 1 of 3
    USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: Book Review: Rage by Bob Woodward Page 1 of 3 Book Review: Rage by Bob Woodward Rage by Washington Post veteran Bob Woodward documents the first three-and-a-half years of Donald Trump’s presidency. Drawing from 17 interviews Woodward secured with Trump, the book ends with a discussion of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is an impressive piece of contemporary history, yet Robert Ledger and Peter Finn find that it is sometimes hard to fully penetrate the rambling material garnered from the interviews with Trump. Rage. Bob Woodward. 2020. Simon & Schuster. Bob Woodward’s latest book on the presidency of Donald Trump, Rage, is a departure from its predecessor, Fear, in so far as it–perhaps surprisingly–was written with the cooperation of the president. Over the course of 17 interviews, Woodward charts Trump’s opinions on a wide range of topics, including the development of the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, the book is remarkably current for a piece of political history; the last interview was completed this past summer. Woodward is one of the best-known political journalists and writers in the US. He assured his place in American history with his key role in investigating the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, which helped bring down the presidency of Richard Nixon, alongside Carl Bernstein at The Washington Post. Woodward has written several books on nine US presidents and his judgement on their performance carries a weight and significance rarely matched by other writers. Woodward makes clear his view that Trump marks a significant break from his predecessors in style and outlook.

  • Michael Herbert – the New Evangelicals: How Donald Trump Revealed the Changing Christian Conservative Base In
    The New Evangelicals: How Donald Trump Revealed the Changing Christian Conservative base Michael J. Herbert Bemidji State University Political Science Senior Thesis Bemidji State University Dr. Patrick Donnay, Advisor April 2017 1 Abstract I analyze how Donald Trump, who many see as an uncertain standard bearer of Christian values, given his colored personal life and various tortured exchanges on the Bible, became the champion of Christian conservatives. Using Pew data from a January 27th, 2016 survey, I analyze how the Republican presidential candidate went from the lowest rankings of religious association just 10 months prior, to winning the highest white evangelical support since George W. Bush in 2004. More research will be conducted on how the specific group known as evangelical voters has changed, as well as what other variables such as economic, gender equality, and international policy played within the demographic that assisted in voting for president elect Donald Trump. This project will contribute to understanding the results of the 2016 presidential campaign, and specifically the behavior of the white evangelical vote. Although Donald Trump did not show significance in numerous religious variables, control variables such as Republican identity were a strong indicator for supporting Trump as a potentially great president upon his election. By analyzing changing and complex evangelical voting trends, along with the changing influence of religion on American society, I believe Donald Trump’s election win revealed a major section of the U.S. electorate’s true message: to be represented regardless of a candidate’s personal background in an increasingly secular American society. Introduction On January 27th, 2016, the Pew Research Center released a survey of 2,009 Americans concerning religion and politics.

  • Can Contract Law Trump First Amendment Law?
    Communication Law Review Volume 19, Issue 1 Can Contract Law Trump First Amendment Law? Juliet Dee, University of Delaware* This article examines the legal issues surrounding non-disclosure agreements (NDAs); specifically, anyone who signs a non-disclosure agreement waives his or her First Amendment rights because courts tend to rule that contract law takes precedence over one's freedom of speech if one willingly enters into the contract by signing it. After examining past and current cases in which former CIA agents challenged their non- disclosure agreements, the article turns its focus on recent cases in which those who worked on Donald Trump's campaign or White House staffers in the Trump administration have challenged their non-disclosure agreements. If courts consistently uphold non-disclosure agreements, the public will not have access to information from those who are potentially the most knowledgeable and credible sources of the operations of our government. During the past four years, attorneys representing President Donald Trump have taken legal action against former employees and associates who had signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Although Trump had made it a common practice to have his employees sign NDAs in his normal business dealings before becoming President, his attempts to silence former White House staffers with NDAs have raised profound legal questions about whether courts will uphold a signed contract or whether courts will find such contracts to be unenforceable because they prevent the free flow of information to the public, thus violating the First Amendment. In other words, Trump is using non- disclosure agreements to silence those around him and stop them from telling the truth.
