Hamilton Nolan: Don't look for a governing philosophy in the White House and Republican Party — Donald Trump governs like a crime boss. "The goal of all this is not 'remaking the government in a conservative image'—it is 'if you want anything, you have to ask me for it.' The rules that governed how the government works are tossed out and replaced with 'Trump’s will.' That’s how mob bosses rule." https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/gangster-party (7/9) 🧵
