Chris Hedges, John Ralston Saul, Maude Barlow, Cornel West and others describe President Trump as a symptom of a broken system where power now lies with corporations, not citizens. A democracy should protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable, but increasingly the United States is failing to do so.
