Nationalism is the participation trophy of politics. Why be proud of something you had no part in building?
Paradoxically, nationalists - regardless of country - often exhaust the institutions that made their country great.
That is why projection is their rhetorical weapon of choice.

Trump called @ZohranKMamdani a communist
I'm not surprised he doesn't know the difference between a communist and a democratic socialist. He didn't know what comparative advantage was neither
And then he says anyone who complain about tariffs need to go back to business school

He'd still be saying and doing the same things, though... Minus a Presidential appointment, of course.

Someone tell @cnbc.com's Josh Brown that if he doesn't sound excited by his stock picks then no one else will.
Snowflake isn't an inspired pick but it's not nothing, either. Sell us on it! If retail is yawning, just imagine institutions.

I cant think of a better way to motivate drowning people to survive than to have them think Eric Adams will be the last voice they ever hear. Or to have them embrace the sweet release of death. Either way, this seems like a win-win for everyone.
Speaking about drones that can tell swimmers who may be drowning that help is on the way, Mayor Adams says they're "gonna use my voice, because I have a calming voice." The drones can also drop a flotation device, he says.

Bravo to the right-wing strategist who thought of banning plastic bags and forcing recycling and public straws on people. Not only is the mainstream public distracted from the real issues but they also hate environmentalism.
