The world is moving on, as we get weaker and self-isolate --
Trump’s pitch on tariffs and undermining alliances is nationalistic, a vision of booming domestic manufacturing and repatriated jobs prompting a reflowering of masculinity. But it’s not deglobalization, it’s de-Americanization. The world economy will move on, to China’s benefit. My latest:
