Don’t Believe Him

Don’t Believe Him

An essay on Trump that had me thinking this week, as it offers a perspective that contrasts with pretty much everything else I’m gathering these days. The key argument: What we see is a «projection of strength [that] obscures the reality of weakness». A mirage of power that only works as long as enough people believe it. The argument makes sense when I listen to it, it really does. And yet: It does not (yet) compute.
