Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.

MAGA 2017: "Trump-Russia is a hoax and a slur." MAGA 2025: "Trump-Russia is the basis for our foreign policy and anybody who doesn't agree should be primaried out of the party."

Hi All, I released the first part of my weekend update early (it’s all free) because what we are seeing is so extreme it needs to be said now. The USA is now openly admitting to helping Russia kill Ukrainians. Indeed, Trump seems to be enjoying it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Remarkable clarity in Britain.

I do not think people realize how comprehensive the Trump Administration is being in its attempts to help Putin kill Ukrainians. I have it on an excellent source that Ukrainian UAV operations are 15% less effective because of the US intel cut off.

The apparent impotence/absence of opposition to Trump’s ruinous presidency is shocking. Say what you want about the British constitution but Liz Truss lasted less than a month once it was clear she’d lost the plot.

If Trump can secure a source of revenue (tariffs) that doesn't need Congressional approval, & can spend the proceeds without Congressional permission, he'll have done what Charles I failed to do in the C17th. Trump wants to govern as an elective monarch. The GOP in Congress must decide if it cares.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Does America have any idea what people around the world are thinking of it tonight? Where are the protests? Where is the opposition? Heartbreaking to see a nation's moral collapse like this.
