Why keep thousands of people alive when you can instead make one man feel safe and special?

What is most evident is that Trump is a solipsist who can't imagine the world, or anyone in it, living after he does; so his policies are based on a roughly 10-year-timeframe, or the time he might expect he has left.
The EPA decision denying that greenhouse gases are harmful is a giant announcement to the entire world that America is in the hands of ignorant people for whom greed #trumps truth. Another fundamental blow to US influence and prestige.

Als iemand het reisverhaal salonfähig heeft gemaakt in Nederland, is het de gelauwerde schrijver Cees Nooteboom wel. Als westerse globetrotter met een elegante pen werd hij buiten Nederland meer gewaardeerd dan hier. Op woensdag overleed hij op 92-jarige leeftijd.
