1. "It's that Donald Trump thinks that he personally and his taste should dictate what is in our museums with his attacks on the Smithsonian," Graff stated in a recent interview. "He believes that his taste should dictate what is performed in our theaters with his takeover of the Kennedy Center. He believes that his taste and his personal preferences should dictate what books people should read as we have seen him go after things like the Naval Academy library. This idea that there's one true vision for America — and it is Donald Trump's personal vision for what our life and our culture and our society should be — is, to me, the clearest example of authoritarianism that we could see." Do you think that President Trump is behaving like he thinks he has or should have the absolute power an authoritarian ruler like King Louis XIV proclaimed with "I am the state."?
