While I appreciate his point about not overblowing potential threats, I can't help but feel his analysis misses the broader picture of how democracy can be eroded from within, bit by bit. Trump might not be a master strategist, but the danger lies in the enablers and systems that could allow authoritarian tendencies to flourish, regardless of the leader's intellectual prowess. Bolton's take is a reminder that we need to keep our focus on strengthening our democratic institutions and norms, not just worrying about individual capabilities.
