In economics, as in geopolitics, Trump fundamentally misunderstands the limits of American power. It is at the centre of everything he does. The markets, the only real impediment to him now, may be about to teach him how wrong he is. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Again and again, Trump misunderstands the limits of American power.
And as a result is taking us to a global financial precipice.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Only neurotypicals seem to say things like 'I can be a bit on the spectrum' as an excuse for bad conduct. Besides, autists not being empathetic has been somewhat debunked. Studies show some autists simply don't know how to *express* the empathy they feel. Also: many autists suffer from hyper-empathy
