Trump's chainsaw

I've written elsewhere about how the far-Right are sawing off the branch of the Tree of Prosperity they're sitting on.

A Guardian journalist, Nesrine Malik, says the same. See -

In conclusion, she says -

"And so he takes the US with him, roiled and destabilised, into a world where its ability to advance whatever agenda it wishes at any time is increasingly undermined by its own moral and political collapse, and by the rise of other nations and arrangements that are rewriting the global order. It is the end of the end of history.

A new chapter begins – nakedly transactional, more crowded, where political power is far more up for grabs. Trump could, by withdrawing in parts and aggressively asserting in others, create at once both a vacuum and a provocation that could catalyse that process. The irony is that as Trump casts a large, dark shade, more and more of the world is coming out of the US’s shadow."
