Hi. I’m Lone Candle.

I don’t hate everything Trump did as president, but, he is a clear threat to democracy.

Every president is a threat to democracy to an extent. Having a country-wide leader that needs a legislature and courts to agree with him to get anything done is a system prone to that leader limiting or completely ending democracy to achieve his goals or stay in power. All presidents push the limits of their power, but, Trump is a special threat to democracy.
