trump getting his feelings hurt by european leaders is the culmination of this new type of guy that emerged in the last decade or so: guy who goes out of his way to be a huge asshole who then gets really offended when the people he's being an asshole to don't like him

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."

I am not sure Americans grasp the degree of damage that’s been done. Trump could leave office tomorrow and it would take a generation to fix relations with the countries that used to be the US’s closest friends.

The primary reason any of this is happening is absolutely and obviously that Greenland looks big to Trump on a map and he wants to say he made America bigger like Jefferson. He'd be doing it if there were no resources there at all. That's just a bonus.
Even people who generally have a good read on things are engaging in a weak form of sanewashing when they have an explanation for the Greenland situation other than this.
Think it's Trump doesn't understand Mercator projection and they have to backfill a rationale that he now keeps repeating.

The tariff debacle comes from a complete misreading of the US law & history, Alan Wolff writes. In normal times, it would be worth serious congressional investigation into why this happened. That will have to await Congress reestablishing itself as a co-equal branch of government.

The American people deserve an explanation on how the president of the United States on April 2 last year announced the largest tariff package in modern history with no action by Congress. It is not t...

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."
