Compared to other Western democracies, the U.S. is still a profoundly religious country.

David Rothkopf : Donald Trump is deliberately destroying trust in the system of government that has held together a vast and disparate country.

He says he is laying the groundwork for another quasi-religious belief: unquestioning fealty to an autocratic ruler.

A plunging stock market, a revived Democratic Party and principled courts could curb some of Trump ’s darkest impulses. But even if the Trump cult does not last, it may damage the foundations of U.S. democracy beyond repair. In that case, the legacy of his administration — with its disastrous consequences for governance, foreign alliances and global security — would long outlive the peculiar outrages of a man who should never have been president in the first place.
