The article discusses President Trump's waning control amidst declining public support, economic troubles, and legal constraints. It delves into the implications of his heightened unpredictability and potential for violence in response to adversities. Political scientists Muirhead and Rosenblum suggest that Trump's diminishing discipline may lead to rogue actions, including the use of government power for personal ends and the targeting of vulnerable groups. The overarching theme emphasizes concern over Trump’s autocratic tendencies and the risks posed as his options narrow.
"A less constrained Trump may be a more violent Trump. Ungoverning unleashes rogue violence, vigilantism, militia. The targets of intimidation, threat and violence expand."
"Trump's unpredictability makes it impossible to answer...as his actions in the first three months of his second term demonstrate, Trump's choices veer to the extreme."
