Europe should hope for a Trump victory
The bloc has lost its purpose — and, surprisingly, having the former president back in the White House may be the thing to bring it back.

Perhaps mere cowardice is the answer—but so many super-wealthy/super-powerful should abandon long (& supposedly deeply-) held beliefs/principles to kowtow to a man they know to be profoundly corrupt/morally bankrupt? They're too worldly-wise to fall for his promises(as GOP/MAGA did.) So: kompromat?

Newsom's greatest vulnerability: homelessness (& its associated complex problems) in CA during his tenure. Whether policy or politics—how can he explain his apparent utter failure to turn it around despite the enormous resources at his fingertips. Or perhaps it's just too complex for his intellect.

So—tho poorly worded/delivered—"annihilate Iran" cannot, I submit, be rightly equated with 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒 (wh/we ought remember, Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin coined in 1943-44 to denote the attempted systematic elimination of European Jewry by the human monster Hitler). Close, perhaps—but no cigar.

Love Prof. Snyder—but 1 quibble: Trump's "annihilate Iran" threat is understood by most in the international community—& in the US—as directed against the current regime & the IRGC that supports/mantains/inhabits/defines it—& not against Iran's larger, non-IRGC population, nor its historic culture.

So CNN/MSNOW/Politico ought report on this President/Administration using sources they can find. If they're not getting the tripe directly from the horse's snout, likely he won't be long happy w/it—& will announce the rescinding their banishment out of "the vast generosity of his political spirit."

Trump makes misleading claims about government payments to Politico. Here's a fact check.
Records show federal agencies, as well as Republican and Democratic lawmakers, paid for subscriptions to Politico. But the company says it's never received federal subsidies.
