Lesson 4: If you are peddling the "trust in govt" has dropped because of proceduralism, you either don't understand the study of trust or don't care. It has dropped in all countries and all institutions over the same time period. It is mostly driven by perception of politics not govt services.
Mr. Trump’s actions on deportation, tariffs and the use of military force in the Caribbean are almost certainly abuses of power. But they’re also a break from the public-sector incompetence that has helped erode faith in government to 22 percent, from almost 80 percent in the 1960s. My argument isn’t that Democrats should ignore the law. Nor am I suggesting that we go back to the Moses era.
