Who will win the week ahead? It's a simple test. One week from today, who can it be said that the election

has been about over the last week? Let's make this a week about Donald Trump. This is the warning.

It's February 5th, 2024.

There are 274 days, nine months exactly, until Americans decide who the next president of the

United States will be.

And that choice will come down between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Though the overwhelming majority of the country does not want the rematch, it is the choice at hand.

And what it will mean is something very simple.

One of those two men will be president of the United States for two terms.

And the difference between those second terms, the second term of a Biden presidency and a Trump presidency are as profound as any difference that there has ever been in the choice Americans will make.

Donald Trump stands for a proposition that is radical and simple.

What he proposes to do is to unravel, blow up, deconstruct the American Revolution itself.

What Donald Trump seeks to do is become an American Caesar,

our first dictator, a man who asserts that I am above the law. I am unequal above the people. That the idea, the notion of a government of the people,

by the people, is passe. It doesn't fit in the complicated world. Because in this world of danger and conspiracy behind every turning corner,

only one man can protect us. That man, the strong leader, the wisest, the smartest, the strongest, he can protect the interests of his faction,

his side. And the price is simple.

Obedience. That's all that's required. Submission. It's them against the world. It's a movement fueled by

grievance, by resentment, by anger. It's an ideology of the loser that looks around and says everything that's wrong in the world is someone

or some things fault beyond my power, beyond my control, beyond my agency. That's what Trumpism is.

It is the philosophy of the victim.

It is the religion of the loser.
