Trump's attacks on American institutions now have become attacks on America's immune system, and on its citizens. My new @CNNOpinion: https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/20/opinions/trump-institutions-autocrats-kasparov/index.html
Trump is desperate to hold on to power and that is the only thing that will direct his actions until the election. Do not underestimate the threat of someone who cares for no one else.
Voting by mail bad for Trump? Ruin the postal service. Covid numbers bad for Trump? Sabotage testing. This is how to think like an autocrat: the path to self-interest that is too immoral for others to even imagine. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/20/opinions/trump-institutions-autocrats-kasparov/index.html
You can't compete with an autocrat in manufacturing crises or exploiting them. You have to provide better answers, not dismiss the problems. The media must also cover the boring, realistic plans, not just Trump's circus.
