Once again we turn to the great Nobel Prize laureate Paul Krugman, writing in Substack, for getting to the heart of the matter:
"The amount of damage the second Trump administration has already done on many fronts, from foreign policy to public health to America’s economic prospects, both for the months ahead and in the long run, is astonishing. And they’re just getting started.
But whenever I talk with other people about one of these disasters, I find them arguing about how to think about what’s happening. Are we looking at mind-boggling incompetence on the part of what Dan Drezner, using the technical language of international relations theory, calls 'the dumbest motherfuckers alive'? Or are we looking at a sinister plot to destroy America as we know it?
The answer is 'yes.' These people are both incompetent and evil."
Krugman recounts in detail the damage being done by these "dumbest motherfuckers alive," so please read his entire piece.
