When I was referring to institutions in my first post was mainly things like a lack of universal health care, a lack of publicly run hospitals, labour laws heavily favouring employers, strong individual states and others.
The system of US government is not designed to fight tragedies of the commons type situations.
Trump certainly made all of these things worse but structurally the same things that enhance the US economic competitiveness made it more difficult to fight.
Interestingly enough if Trump used his authoritarian tendencies for good instead of ignoring everything his ability to not care about protocols or the constitution would have helped him.
