Det er helt bevidst, når Trump opfører sig totalt utilregneligt og som en galning. Spørgsmålet er hvordan vi skal forholde os til det. Jeg har en kronik i dagens Politiken om hvordan vi skal forstå Trumps udenrigspolitik. Link nedenfor.

Donald Trumps flirt med fascistisk retorik og forkærlighed for autoritære ledere præsenteres ofte som noget nyt i amerikansk historie. Men i virkeligheden er han en del af en lang amerikansk tradition. Jeg har en længere artikel i morgendagens Information om USA’s autoritære tradition.
