What Alexander Hamilton would say about Trump and today’s America | David Lopez-Herrera

UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – Hamilton’s warnings highlight risks of unchecked executive power and declining civic trust as democratic institutions face rising factionalism and demagoguery, experts say.

  • In contemporary America, court decisions are often undermined due to perceived political bias, and judges experience harassment, reflecting deep strains within the legal system.
  • This situation reflects longstanding concerns as Hamilton warned of demagogues exploiting public trust to seize power.
  • Hamilton’s framework was built to check tyranny by balancing interests and elevating national unity amid growing demagoguery, factionalism, and civic apathy.
  • Richard Brookhiser observed that President Trump’s actions, including disdain for the judiciary and efforts to delegitimize institutions, are the executive abuses Hamilton sought to prevent.
  • This underscores a critical test for the republic, where citizens’ commitment to law and reason will determine if the nation sustains its constitutional legacy.
