Donald Trump

Trump’s AG

The nomination process for key positions in any US administration is always a window into its priorities and governing style. In the case of Presidentelect Donald Trump’s second term, the saga surrounding his choice for Attorney General has offered a particularly vivid glimpse into how loyalty and controversy intersect in his political orbit.

Strong leaders, weak people

With the world dominated by the great man theory of politics‘ and 'I alone can fix' category of leaders, politics today has become a ribald vaudeville, full of scandal and pantomime. They act like nimble showmen/women, playing acrobat, Rambo, entrepreneur, messiah, often all at the same time. Their best form of attack is political theatre. Populist leaders win big in elections but the victors continue to behave like victims.
