Source d’inspiration pour les signataires de la Constitution des Etats-Unis d’Amérique, Montesquieu plaçait la vertu politique au fondement même de la démocratie. C’est peu de dire que l’homme qui dirige pour la seconde fois, depuis lundi 20 janvier, la plus puissante république de notre monde, a construit son existence à l’opposé de ce principe.
