NYTimes op-ed writer David Leonhardt today offers a brilliant and acid-etched portrait of the Asshole-in-Chief. He also indicts the Republican Party as his lead enabler.

"That, of course, is the ideology of autocracy. And although the United States is not an autocracy, our country is taking steps in that direction that I never imagined we would."
