Trump is the shakedown president. He’s shaken down law firms, old and new media, corporations, even countries. It’s worked. So far. Until people get wiser and resist or look elsewhere. Then the short term gain will turn to long term pain. My latest. www.politico.eu/article/dona...
Donald Trump, the shakedown president
Soon, everyone will get wiser and realize they have alternatives — and that when they unite, the U.S. president will be unable to continue his shake down operations.

Trump’s executive order guaranteeing Qatar’s security will do little to strengthen Qatar’s security but can do a lot to undermine the security of America’s real allies in Europe and Asia. open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...
Trump’s Security Promise to Qatar is a Big Mistake
President Trump’s executive order providing Qatar with a US security guarantee is dangerous. It will do little for Qatar, and should be deeply concerning to America’s real treaty allies.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder won’t bring us together and reflect on the danger our divisions pose for our country. I fear it will tear us further apart and strengthen the authoritarian forces that have dominated our politics since Trump’s return. open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...
Is the Kirk Murder a Turning Point?
I fear not. Rather, the reaction of right-ing voices, starting with President Trump, points to a further deterioration of democracy and another step towards an authoritarian future.
