Paul Krugman writes:
"At this point, then, Trump effectively has nothing left to lose on the political front — and his political bankruptcy has freed him to become his worst self, indulging himself by doing what he always wanted to do — which includes supporting corrupt, murderous dictators.
Trump can’t and won’t make America great again. But he can betray everything America stands for, and he’s doing it as we speak."
