“From the start, Brexit has been marked by fantasy and deception. Now, with Britain on the doorstep of leaving the EU, reality is setting in.”
New Yorker (July 17)
“Trump’s penchant for bald deception and incoherence is not an aberration. It is his daily practice. The vague sense of torpor and gloom that so many Americans have shouldered these past two years derives precisely from the constancy of Trump’s galling statements and actions.” Despite this numbing influence, “what happened in Helsinki on Monday will not be so easily forgotten.” The President’s disgraceful “performances in Europe, and now in Washington,” as he tries to walk things back, “clarified nothing. They only raised dark suspicions and aroused the sickening feeling that we are living in the pages of the most lurid espionage novel ever written.”
