Donald Trump: Autocrat and Wrecking Ball — Letters that should have been in the new york times

11.15.24

To the editor:

It is ironic that David Brooks, in his postmortem of the current election cycle, argues that many of us live with 'broken mental models' and 'false assumptions' (11.15.24, Why we got it so wrong). Donald Trump's success has been fueled by lies and blatant misinformation utilizing mental models out of an autocrat's playbook.

Trump sold himself as a savior, but his early nominations to his cabinet suggest he's a wrecking ball. Barely a week into his election, many who supported him are already expressing buyer's remorse as they contemplate the reality of Trump implementing his policies.

Respectfully,
