I Thought the World Would Stop Trump. Here’s Why I Was Wrong
In President Trump’s mind, what’s legal is what you can get away with.
President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, isn’t the sort of story that will captivate the average American.
But it should: It is the latest in a slew of incidents in which Trump is operating in legally grey area, testing the limits of what he can and can’t do as president. Or, to borrow my favorite metaphor, stretching the rubber band of democracy in ways it simply has never been stretched before.
