It isn't just trump that has a problem with democratic ideals, the ones he picks to surround him are also devoid of equality, fairness and justice. He can scrape the bottom of the barrel all he wants but he will keep getting the kind of selfish insolence that breeds disloyalty and his troubles will continue. He wants to be obeyed because he thinks he was voted into the presidency as a king. That trump doesn't understand that he is a servant never crosses his mind. He plays to his own advantages and expects to be worshipped for it. His ego is such that if a mistake is made by himself it is impossible for him to admit it. His ego is greater than his common sense. Which is part of why we are a nation baffled nearly every single day buy his personality and behaviors.
I say the instability of our democracy under trumps because it is all related to the instability in the mind of trump. He only knows what he wants when he wants it. His strong arming of the women in the senate a few days ago perfectly illustrates his mentality. He wants what he wants and if he doesn't get it then force must be applied. He had one of his acolytes actually threaten to withhold federal funding to Alaska for the no vote that Murkowski was casting, http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-essential-washington-updates-trump-administration-threatened-gop-1501171774-htmlstory.html. The act of bullying is nothing new to trump since it is a tactic he widely used in his private business life, http://www.nationalreview.com/article/430628/donald-trumps-business-record-he-bullied-ordinary-citizens.
Trying to run our federal government from the trump bullying perspective is not a successful way to proceed. He is finding out that although his cabinet picks may like to kiss his ass when he asks them to, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojRNViPlF5g, the rest of our national bureaucracy does not. There is no magically becoming a king from being elected president with it's four year term. However badly trump tries to claim his sovereignty he keeps finding himself being rebuffed. That his own party of republicans is now turning on him is his just rewards for trying to bully them as well. The future is uncertain even more than normal with trump at the helm but the waves are getting higher and his boat is springing leaks. Our nation is unstable for now and with trump growing more defiant in his demands we will see how much more all of us can take.
