This. As I set out in a post, Trump is not a 'transactional' politician, but an anti-transactional politician. Those pundits that trot out that he is 'transactional' don't get his approach to supposed deals. His MO is breaking deals not making them. My post: emptycity.substack.com/p/why-donald...

How lucky it was for the world that America then had a president who understood the powerful symbolism of a democratic statesman living in a war zone dressing in a way appropriate to an existential struggle for freedom on the frontier of western civilisation. Now, not so much.

NEW: A moment in Munich. Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.” He ends hoping for peace. A long, standing ovation. What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

Macron is such a unique voice. What we have built in Europe since WWII is nothing less than miraculous. And it's worth defending against authoritarian forces internal and external - what system has proven itself to be greater? And we are part of that though not in the EU.

There it is. Any British people still backing Trump are backing a threat to the independence of a Commonwealth country.

Like other economists I'm being asked to comment on Trump tariffs. We should do so - it's our job. But first we should make the point stated eloquently here by @alanbeattie.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c26b...

Well, obviously honouring people who helped save lives by ending wars or solving crimes whatever their gender, colour, sexuality or health status, is simply wrong Only straight white men should see their names & faces in honour rolls Let's make America 18th century again when everything made sense

My settled conclusion? Too many people enjoy being gratuitously cruel to others. That’s the whole story.

Great point here. Trump is creating a hostile environment for talent that leans liberal. We can't pay as well, but there are not school shootings and we aren't being run by anti science fascists.

Ooof. Elon Musk has become even more unpopular in the UK following his interventions on child grooming gangs Unfavourable - 71% to favourable 20%. That’s a -51 favourability rating. Genghis Khan level.

A fantastic piece by @iandunt.bsky.social And can I also say (counselling hat on) that watching what someone does rather than listening to their words is a great tactic in life with all those around you. Mute the bullshit, watch the action, it will tell you all you need to know about that person.

Women should indeed think twice in this circumstance because their potential alimony payments will be higher if they wait to divorce this unsupportive, fragile man-baby until after taking a higher paying gig.

There's been so much debate about how a free media should deal with, and report on, Trump's bizarro world. @cnn.com has fallen at the very first hurdle. Absolutely fkn extraordinary.
