Donald Trump’s influence has led to an increase in far-right figures who have gained mainstream acceptance. Moderate politicians are being threatened or driven out of the Republican Party by pro-Trump forces, leaving few dissenters in office. Miles Taylor, who was chief of staff of the Department of Homeland Security under Trump, sees this as a problem. A big one.
The Next Trump
Let’s face it: anything could happen in U.S. politics. Right now, Trump is on the stand for his civil fraud trial. In one year, during the 2024 election? Who knows what he’ll be doing. But it’s not just Trump himself who people need to worry about, according to Taylor. It’s the next Trump—the next president who oversteps boundaries and interferes with the justice system for personal gain.
