A NEW LEVEL OF TRUMPIAN EVIL North Korea is the worst government on Earth; Trump prefers it to the prosperous democracy next door Paul Krugman paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-new-leve...

Let’s be clear: Vladimir Putin’s Russia is an ugly regime, a kleptocracy in which critics of the leader have a habit of falling out of high windows. Xi Jinping’s China isn’t a free society either. But they’re mild and open compared with North Korea, where indoctrination is constant, where everyone must, if they value their lives, constantly praise the leader, whose name and portrait are everywhere:
