A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) Trump has had the same impact on economic uncertainty as a global pandemic.
NSA chief fired for 'Disloyalty to Trump'. Seems this administration can't even see the separation of the leader's personality from that of the state, something in common understanding since medieval times 'dominium politicum et regale'. bbc.com/news/articles/ckgerl…
An irresistible farce meets an implacable object. Hungary to withdraw from International Criminal Court bbc.com/news/articles/c807lm…
How not to respect the rule of law - this is among the worst judicial appointments systems in a world of shameless corporate vote buying. Wisconsin supreme court race a litmus test for Elon Musk’s political power theguardian.com/us-news/2025…
The irony with the responses to Rory Stewart here will be that Stewart cut his political teeth in a theatre of war, Iraq, and then traversed the Middle East on foot, while neither Musk nor his defenders have probably ever seen real brutality up close.

Is there ANYTHING that Trump has done in the last 40 days - inside the US, or with Canada + Germany to Ukraine - that is not EXACTLY what Putin wanted?
Could the Russian intelligence services have ever dreamt of a more perfect candidate and policies to serve Russia’s interests?
