He views Trump's actions as a dangerous disregard for established American institutional norms and legal processes in favor of power and violence.

“We're creating a culture which I think is fundamentally about Steven Miller, particularly Trump's deputy chief of staff, but actually pretty much Vance and Trump too, believing in the end that what matters is power, force and violence, not laws and process.”

He expresses concern that American institutions, such as the media and financial community, are failing to demonstrate the necessary self-confidence to stand up to Trump.

“I'm now beginning to worry that actually these American elites are much less self-confident and much less good at standing up to him than people thought”
