Trump Wants to Be a Caudillo, But He Lacks Allies
01 Aug 2017
🖨️ Print Article

The Philadelphia-based Duboisian scholar Dr. Anthony Monteiro said President Trump “would like to set up a Latin American-style strongman kind of government. “But, the problem is, Trump doesn’t have many allies, “anywhere – in the ‘deep state,’ in his own party, or among the American people -- to establish such a strongman rule.” If Trump overreaches and attempts to take excessive power in his own hands, said Monteiro, “this will lead to a growing popular demand, which the ‘deep state’ and the Democrats and Republicans will seize upon to move quickly to remove him from office through impeachment.” He said the U.S. is racked by economic and political crises, including a crisis of legitimacy. “We have never seen a crisis of this type.”
