J. Dionne, Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the public debate of the moment: is Donald Trump precipitating a crisis of American democracy? For some the answer is an emphatic \"yes.\" Trump's disregard for the institutions and political norms of U.S. democracy is imperiling the Republic. The sooner his presidency collapses the sooner the healing can begin and the ship of state righted. For others Trump is not the villain in this drama. Rather, his young presidency is the conduit, not the cause, of Americans' deep-seated anger towards a privileged and self-dealing Washington elite. Trump's disruption of politics as usual is what America needs to start the process of restoring democracy by the people, for the people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771916779808,"sku":"9781487004514","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a0111dd99acd7ae1c20a57d384540370.webp?v=1780397037","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/is-american-democracy-in-crisis-the-munk-debates-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
