Rayfield: This is a president who deliberately leads by fear, because that’s how he gets the outcomes he’s looking for. He creates primary dynamics where people are scared to say anything different — because if they do, he’ll try to compel their actions in Congress. He leads through fear. It’s like a coach working the refs during a game — criticizing the referee to influence the outcome.
