Would Trump Try to Rule the World?

Framing the Idea: Where It Comes From

On a humid afternoon I caught a news clip that felt like a plot twist in a political thriller: a headline suggesting that a sitting president could aim to rule the world.

Under an agreement between Democrats and Republicans, there will be a boxing match between the presidential candidates instead of an election.

It’s official: Democrats and Republicans have agreed to an unprecedented move in the history of American politics. Instead of holding the traditional election this year, the two parties have decided to let their respective nominees duke it out in a boxing match.
