Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos yesterday clearly showed the increasing dissociation between U.S. president’s words and reality.
The United States’ demand for drugs destroys Mexico’s everyday life, and those who escape from this destroyed life are again met with the guns of U.S. ICE agents.
While Trump is a powerful force within the Republican Party, his polarising presence is creating substantial challenges for the party in appealing to a broad enough coalition to secure consistent, nationwide victories beyond his core base.
[T]he Republican Party is now a coalition of religious conservatives, the social and economic right, and libertarian oligarchs. For their part, the Democrats have become a broad “tent” uniting liberals, moderates, and socialists.
