Trump purged America’s Leftist toxins. Now hubris will be his downfall
From ending DEI madness and net zero to securing the border, he’ll leave the US stronger. But his excesses are inciting a Left-wing backlash
Americans, like much of the world, are getting tired of Donald Trump. Like an old actor who still insists on playing romantic leads, he has managed to become a caricature of himself, a blustering, overweight, sometimes barely coherent one-man wrecking crew. A usually sympathetic conservative journalist, writing in the Wall Street Journal, recently described his behaviour as “incontinent”.
Yet as insane as many of Trump’s failings may be, he has served as something of an enema, purging the excesses of his predecessors. Gone are a host of moronic Biden policies, from net zero and DEI to transgender and racial madness. If judged by what he has eliminated, Trump deserves no small amount of thanks.

The Iran War and the Coming Global Struggle
The United States is growing more risk-tolerant, more willing to accept regional instability as a strategic tool, and deliberately positioning itself for the far greater challenge of confronting China in the coming decades.
Postliberalism’s Hungary Gambit Failed
With Viktor Orbán’s party losing power in Hungary and postliberals at odds with the Trump administration over the Iran War, this iteration of postliberalism looks once again bound not only to fail in terms of its own principles but also to remain politically relevant.
