democratically elected leader into an authoritarian? The process is
rarely abrupt. It unfolds gradually and is often justified as a
necessary reform. It is framed as what the people wanted. All this
makes it difficult for citizens to recognize what is happening until
it's too late.

dedicated nearly $370 billion to clean energy, electric vehicle tax

That Donald Trump would end up shouting from the rooftops of
Washington is not, in and of itself, all that surprising; that he did
so in actuality and not just metaphorically was a bit of a shock. Sir,
why are you on the roof? one journalist asked, when the President
suddenly appeared on the flat-top exterior of the White House this
week. Taking a little walk, the President replied. The unusual photo
op captured Trump, accompanied by his architect, surveying from on
high how his planned two-hundred-million-dollar,
ninety-thousand-square-foot ballroom, to be built in place of the
current East Wing, will transform the executive campus. He might also
have wanted a birds-eye view of the newly Trumpified Rose Garden, the
iconic green space designed by Bunny Mellon, which was recently paved
over in very white stone on Trumps orders. The President has not yet
demanded that his name be emblazoned on the latest additions to the
White House complex, but would anyone be stunned if he does? Truman
has a balcony; Trumps ballroom will be bigger, gaudier, and, its safe
to predict, a lot more gilded.
