>> not in the same way. american institutions are obviously much, much stronger. there are a lot more institutions. the system of checks and balances is much more profound and coherent. but the problem with it is that a lot of it is not actually enshrined in law, a lot is not the constitution, a lot is just culture. there's no law that says that the white house has to be transparent. there's no law that says there has to be a daily briefing or regular press conferences. vladimir putin has one press conference and year and one call-in show. all other appearances are sort of irregular. there's nothing that stops donald trump from doing that. in fact, he's already started. the two things that he's on record in doing in the last 48 hours is not allowing the press to accompany him to meet with president obama in the white house and blaming the press for the protests. so the signs for his relationship with the media are terrible.
