Consider yourself warned.
“One prediction about the 2024 political seasonhas already come true,”Susan B. Glasser writesin her latest column. “The election year, to the delight of Donald Trump’s superfans and the dread of just about everyone else, is all about the former President: his trials, his feuds, his insufferable family.” This week, his dominance has extended into the realm of the nation’s standing on the global stage. As Glasser notes, “Trump has demonstrated his remarkable continued ability to hijack the national conversation, warping and distorting not only America’s politics but also its foreign policy to suit his toxic personal mixture of dictator worship, blustery nationalism, and deep-seated skepticism about U.S. engagement in the world.” |
