Trump has installed at the top of power, and of international relations, what we can call anti-democratic brother-in-lawism, an anti-political protuberance—calling it an ideology would be an exaggeration: all this talk of libertarian capitalism is sheer stupidity—consisting of identifying all the ills of Western society in the supposed ineffectiveness of the rule of law, with its fussy balance of power, caricatured by lazy and corrupt high-ranking officials who live off the public purse. The solution, typical of what the classic supposedly well-informed brother-in-law would say after dinner, is to purge this entire elitist caste and govern without compassionate qualms, with authority. That is, authoritarianly. With a leader who speaks clearly and acts forcefully. Who governs with the people in mind, a us perfectly ultra-nationalist and exclusive towards the others, the profiteers, the enemies (from outside and inside).
