I want a healthy democracy. That means that people should feel like the government is doing what they want.

Look at the current transition. A recent poll showed it has a 59% approval rating—for a candidate that’s not that popular. But he got on stage and campaigned with a bunch of people who had specific policy visions, and then appointed those same people to run the government. What you see is what you get.

I don’t really care whether what judges and lawyers and paid experts have to say about those policies. If the people don’t like them, they’ll vote for a different slate the next time around.
