Oh so that's the "Trump effect" at play right? In reality the democracy has been eroding for many years in the US, especially if you consider all the concessions made to individuals rights since the War on Drugs and War on Terrorism - and that's nothing new, it dates back to the 70s already, and it should have been degraded to flawed democracy rating for a while now, regardless of whoever is the President. So just another meaningless index that's playing politics instead of looking at facts. |

Nope.

They essentially note this in the report, and say that the US score would have fallen below 8 regardless of who won the 2016 election.
