One after another, American institutions have spinelessly bowed to Trump's power. The latest GOP invertebrates run a foundation meant to honor President Gerald R. Ford.

A kerfuffle in Grand Rapids, Mich., in recent days revealed a grim truth about America’s institutions in these troubled times: Too many of them lack the courage to stand up to the threat to democracy that is Donald Trump, thereby contributing to the alarming staying power of the once and perhaps future president. We already know about the failure of the main institutional players in this constitutional crisis: those atop the Republican Party.

Politico disclosed Kennerly's five-page scorcher of a letter to the foundation’s executive committee and board, in which he revealed that the members lacked the “kind of guts” that Ford had shown as a World War II combat veteran and politician — refusing to honor Cheney for fear of enraging Trump, who might threaten the foundation's tax-exempt status or otherwise take retribution should he become president again. How ironic.
