The two widely different ways President Trump could govern. Love claims, falsely, Owens backs Clinton. Herbert signs last minute controversial bills.

Happy Thursday. There are at least two ways that a Donald Trump presidency could unfold, and they bear almost no resemblance to one another. An unrestrained, authoritarian Trump who attempted to bring Putinism to the United States could precipitate a chaotic and potentially violent constitutional crisis. But, if he governs with more deference to constitutional checks and balances than he's shown so far, it's possible to envision Trump's presidency easing some of the gridlock that has gripped our political system. That's if he wins, of course. [<a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/132107/trump-disrupter"; target="_blank">TNR</a>]
