    Trump vs. the Leviathan

    About this ebook

    The success of the Trump presidency will be judged in large part on his ability to reduce the size and scope of the deep state. The unelected, unaccountable permanent bureaucratic leviathan that winds itself around the body and squeezes its life out must be dismantled if Trump’s legacy is to be a permanent restoration of republican government. Fortunately, his administration is doing that. Quietly and without fanfare he is reducing oppressive regulation and reining in what has become the fourth, all-powerful branch of government. There is much yet to be done, but less than two years in, President Trump has taken steps to return power to its rightful home—the sovereign American citizen.

      ENCOUNTER BROADSIDES

      Inaugurated in the fall of 2009, Encounter Broadsides are a series of timely pamphlets and e-books from Encounter Books. Uniting an 18th century sense of public urgency and rhetorical wit (think The Federalist Papers, Common Sense) with 21st century technology and channels of distribution, Encounter Broadsides offer indispensable ammunition for intelligent debate on the critical issues of our time. Written with passion by some of our most authoritative authors, Encounter Broadsides make the case for ordered liberty and the institutions of democratic capitalism at a time when they are under siege from the resurgence of collectivist sentiment. Read them in a sitting and come away knowing the best we can hope for and the worst we must fear.

      THERE IS A TWILIGHT WAR being waged to control and shrink the leviathan state – a state that threatens the constitutional order that defends Americans’ liberty. C. S. Lewis described this peculiarly modern threat in an introduction to the 1961 edition of The Screwtape Letters : The greatest evil is not done now in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint. It is not even done in concentration camps and labor camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.

      On the night in 1972 when Richard Nixon won a landslide presidential reelection, the then-Governor of California and future president Ronald Reagan told United Press International, There is evidence of a developing philosophy in the United States against the growth of big government, costs and influence. I think many Democrats had second thoughts in the direction that the country was going and decided it was the wrong way. Mr. Nixon is a man who wants to decentralize federal power and I think that most of the country agrees with that philosophy.

      Echoing this in his inaugural address in 2017, President Donald Trump declared,
