From across the Atlantic, it looked a little different. I saw Trump isolated and ignored as business was conducted around him, challenged in his misogynistic lie that the Italian PM "begged" for a photograph. In the choreography of the conference room, what I felt I was witnessing was a collapsed power being sidelined, ignored, and left behind.
Extraordinary insight into the nuanced behavior we observed this past week in Évian, and excellent discussion of just why European countries act and perform the way they do. As they say in the movies (and which you’ve written about so eloquently), “It’s complicated!”
Jesus GOD, you write well
Yes. Thank you.
