If I were on the Norwegian Nobel Committee, I would lean heavily on the fact that this year's prize is for achievements up to 2024, and so Trump isn't eligible. Obviously, that just postpones the problem for a year, but that's a long time for DJT's attention span.

All three of NATO's nuclear powers are currently experiencing periods of domestic political turmoil, which is not great to put it mildly.

International fees currently subsidise domestic fees. So the government is taking from the only pot that subsidises educating domestic students in order to subsidise educating domestic students. Cynically, I suspect the logic behind this is to performatively demonstrate toughness towards foreigners.

Half the time, I think the Trump people have a plan to overthrow the US Constition, and the other half I think they get up every morning and just wing it.

Today's meeting with the generals encapsulates that ambiguity.

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"
