Ezra Klein’s critique of Donald Trump is multifaceted, addressing both the former president’s style and substance.

Klein’s analysis urges a reevaluation of how political leadership is defined and the importance of safeguarding democratic institutions. His commentary serves as a call to action for both political leaders and citizens to uphold democratic values and work towards a more inclusive and effective governance mod
