“Trump already looks like a thought experiment you’d make up to scare liberals straight about the concentration of executive power,” says the Cato Institute’s Gene Healy, who has a cover story in the current issue of Reason arguing that Obama’s “most lasting legacy” will be to “leave to his successor a presidency even more powerful and dangerous than the one he inherited from Bush.”
