The Economist (May 13)
The jury is still out on whether “the sacking of James Comey” was incompetent or malign. “Is the administration chaotic and unworthy of its place in a mighty tradition, but more farcical than corrupting…? Or is Mr Trump, who has just become the first president since Richard Nixon to fire a man who was leading a formal investigation into his associates, and perhaps himself, a threat to American democracy?”

The Economist (February 27)
A win by Donald Trump “is an appalling prospect. The things Mr Trump has said in this campaign make him unworthy of leading one of the world’s great political parties, let alone America. One way to judge politicians is by whether they appeal to our better natures: Mr Trump has prospered by inciting hatred and violence. He is so unpredictable that the thought of him anywhere near high office is terrifying. He must be stopped.”
