Never bet against Donald Trump. No politician can defy political gravity like the man whose supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6th 2021, only for him to be re-elected in 2024 with a bigger share of the vote. And yet it is hard to imagine a crisis more precisely engineered to intercept the trajectory of his presidency than his ill-judged, heedless war against Iran. Even a short war will alter the course of his second term. One that lasts months could bring it crashing to earth.

The reason is that the fight against Iran diminishes Mr Trump’s three political superpowers: his ability to impose his own reality on the world, his remorseless use of leverage and his dominion over the Republican Party. Even without Iran, the potency of these Trumpian strengths was likely to wane after the midterm elections. Wars accelerate change.

Start with Trump v Reality. In politics, the president has shown a remarkable ability to twist facts and, sure enough, he insists that he has already triumphed in Iran. Yet the war tells a truth of its own. Iran’s regime cannot win in any conventional sense. But despite widespread destruction of infrastructure and the assassinations of senior leaders—including the security chief, Ali Larijani—Iran’s regime survives for now and its 400kg or so of near‑bomb‑ready uranium remains at large.

What is more, Iran is waging its own parallel war against the global energy industry. As it strikes shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the infrastructure of its neighbours, the markets are keeping score. With Brent crude spiking to more than $110 a barrel on March 18th, following an Iranian missile attack on a Qatari natural‑gas hub, the regime will conclude that its strategy is working.

( next alt text )

If anything, time is on Iran’s side. America and Israel will gradually run out of useful targets to strike from the air, or run low on interceptor batteries to see off Iranian weapons. By contrast, Iran appears still to have plenty of drones. For as long as it restricts traffic in the strait, oil prices will climb and the damage to the world economy will grow.

Mr Trump’s second superpower is leverage. Now that other countries’ leaders have come to expect rough treatment, they are learning how to resist. When the president called on America’s allies to help open the strait, warning that NATO faced a “very bad” future if they refused, they turned him down. He quickly reversed course, pretending he had never needed help.

Likewise, Iran is opposing Mr Trump by accumulating leverage against him. In recent days it has signalled that it will grant safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz to ships from friendly countries—a sign that it means to use access as a bargaining tool. Even if Mr Trump wants to end the war, Iran could continue to fire at ships. If the waterway remains closed until the end of April, the oil price could reach $150 a barrel.

Given that leverage, Iran may hold out for more than just a return to the status quo before the war. It may ask for sanctions to be lifted, or an American commitment to abandon some bases in the Middle East or to restrain Israel. If recession looms in America and stockmarkets start to fall, would Mr Trump escalate? Or would he buckle?

The answer depends partly on the last of his powers: his hold on his party. Mr Trump was elected on promises to spare voters from war and inflation. So far, 13 American service personnel have died; ground operations inside Iran, to recover that uranium, or on Kharg would put many more in danger. Avg prices of petrol and diesel have reached $3.88 and $5.09 a gallon, compared with $3.11 and $3.72 at Mr Trump’s inauguration. Republican support for the war is strong, but softening.

(next alt text)

In private many elected Republicans are seething. Mr Trump’s failure to heed warnings about the Strait of Hormuz is typical of his contempt for strategy and his hubris in thinking he knows better than people who really do. Republicans are now highly likely to lose control of the House in the midterm elections in November. Their chances of losing the Senate too have risen by ten points, to about 50%. The worse the defeat, the lamer a duck the president will be and the less influence he will have over who inherits the party.

Were the war to drag on, leading to very high oil prices and tumbling stockmarkets, Mr Trump could seek a way out and look for a win somewhere else—in, say, Cuba. Markets would doubtless register relief if the fighting stopped. But Mr Trump is not in full control of this war. Iran’s attack on the gas hub in Qatar shows it still has cards to play. And even if the fighting ended tomorrow it could take four to six weeks to restore oil production, four to eight weeks to settle oil markets and two months to normalise shipping. The risk of renewed Iranian action would remain. Prices may stay high for months. Every day they do weakens the president.
Mr Trump’s politics depends on the strength that comes from winning. If he seems a loser, expect him to exact retribution. A weaker president could become a more dangerous one.

Tanking

Mr Trump is freest to act abroad. He may abandon NATO. He may cut Ukraine loose to punish Europe. He could bully Latin America in the name of fighting crime and drugs. He may demand money for defending Japan and South Korea. He will be maximalist on tariffs. Even if he does not succeed, that will further erode America’s alliances, to the glee of China and Russia.

But Mr Trump is also liable to lash out at home. He has already endorsed the idea of withholding broadcasting licences from media outlets that criticise the war. He wants the Federal Reserve to slash rates, but his war makes that less likely—expect further clashes with the central bank. He could target perceived enemies or send immigration agents to more Democratic‑run cities. He could threaten to meddle in the midterms, either as theatre to rile his opponents, or because he intends to influence the results. It is hard to see how Mr Trump ends up a winner in Iran. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser. ■

By Scott Nover. Washington Post

A federal judge in Washington ruled Saturday that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America, and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth, in a 17-page opinion, granted summary judgment to a group of employees, led by Voice of America's White House bureau chief Patsy Widakuswara, who sued Lake last year. Lamberth found that Lake, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, violated the Constitution's appointments clause and the Federal Vacancies Reform Act by helming the agency. "The Court finds that these expansive delegations were an unlawful effort to transform Lake into the CEO of U.S. Agency for Global Media in all but name," Lamberth wrote. The decision is the latest in a string of legal defeats to the Trump administration's year-long effort to dismantle USAGM, the federal agency that in addition to Voice of America oversees other U.S.-funded international broadcasters including Radio Free Asia...

"What PMCarney said at Davos is something everybody feels... We are in a period not of transition but of rupture. Europe will soon be fully responsible for its own security. And also have to begin thinking much more strategically..." - @anneapplebaum.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Last month’s Davos World Economic Forum will be remembered primarily for two things: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s historic speech about the end of Pax Americana, and then President Trump making Carney’s point the next day by sounding like a fascist dictator with a concussion while he threatened our Western allies over Greenland.

Although Trump quickly TACO’d and tried to smooth things over, his speech was the latest indication that Europe needs to rethink its security alliances. America is not only unreliable, but we’ll be governed foreseeably by an aspiring dictator who if he could would happily divide the world up into authoritarian spheres of influence, with Europe left to be preyed upon by Putin.

We connected with Anne Applebaum, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and staff writer for The Atlantic, to discuss Europe’s perspective on Trump’s unhinged showing at Davos and his broader betrayal of our democratic allies. (Applebaum has a front row seat to these developments — she’s based out of Poland these days.)

“Trump for Europeans conjures up the pre-war era when what we now call populism but then was called fascism engulfed country after country and led to a continent-wide catastrophe that killed millions of people,” she said. “He’s a figure from a previous era they thought was over.”

“I do think that what Mark Carney said at Davos was something everybody feels, even if they won’t say it,” she added. “We are in a period not of transition but of rupture. Europe will soon be fully responsible for its own security, and we’ll also have to begin thinking much more strategically about how to wield power in the world.”
