From the NYY: — Bret Stephens on the bomb Trump detonated: “Trump has taught his opponents not to believe a word he says, his followers not to believe a word anyone else says, and much of the rest of the country to believe nobody and nothing at all…” (NYT)
Yes, great essay. His analogy of Trump as more of an Archie Bunker than Mussolini is apt.
Also in the same edition of the NY Times is Michelle Goldberg’s essay “Just how dangerous was Trump?” and is worth reading.
Thanks for your thoughts. Merry Christmas!
