The Art of Dealing With Trump

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

A word about Trump’s reckless trade war with Canada. This is happening because Trump’s entire career is based on fraud and grift, which means he simply does not know anything about economics, trade, markets. He never has. (1/2)

One of the many reasons to assert our digital sovereignty is to shield Canadians from having to pad the billionaire tech bros' pockets. The same tech bros who have been supportive of Trump’s authoritarian and predatory tendencies.

"Against Trump, Canadians are fighting a trade war that the great majority support, under leadership that commands broad assent, to defend their independence and self-respect. That’s a war that even the weaker side can win, especially if it needs to hold on only a few months longer to survive."

Having had locals buy carpets for me in both Iran and Turkey, I will say that walking completely away from a deal, going home, and declaring that there is no chance of a deal and accurately denouncing the counterparty as a bad-faith actor, is a standard act of any good market negotiator.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.
