Suffice to say here, the current governing arrangement of the United States is rule by a transnational managerial class in conjunction with the administrative state.... Trump is the first candidate since Reagan to threaten this arrangement.

Agreed.

who rules? The many or the few? The people or the oligarchs? Our Constitution says: the people are sovereign, and their rule is mediated through representative institutions, limited by written Constitutional norms.

The problem is that our government is becoming more and more oligarchic. My fondest hope for a Trump administration is that he cleans out the judicial branch. True reform will probably take one or more constitutional amendments and we will end up with a less independent, more politicized judiciary which is not entirely a good thing. But if the unelected judiciary thinks it is within their authority to overturn thousands of years of codes of conduct common to every civilized culture on the planet and impose authoritarian restrictions on the people, they've got to go.

He sees globalism as the problem. He is definitely on the same page with Team Trump and the Brexiteers.
