In a nasty op-ed in the July 31 Financial Times, Chief Economics Commentator Martin Wolf made it clear that he (like the British Establishment he serves), is by no means reconciled to the idea of a Trump Presidency in the United States.
Titled “Naivety about Trump Threatens All Our Futures,” the Wolf screed calls Trump a “would-be tyrant” who “would like to use the office of president to punish his enemies.” He states: “Liberal democracy in the U.S. is not all that is at stake. So, too, is America’s future in the world. It does not seem to have occurred to the new American right that abandoning Ukraine and possibly current NATO members to Russia will affect U.S. ability to make alliances against China. If I were Japanese, I would be nervous.”
