“America stands hours and a day away from the second Trumpian era. But around the world, it feels like it has already begun. Almost since election day, jihadis, autocrats, and NATO allies alike have been watching their backs in what has felt like a global game of Whac-a-Mole in which the moles finally believe that they might get whacked. The cease-fire in Gaza this week marked the first achievement of the returning president. It was secured before he reached the White House, under his big, swinging stick. At least that’s what Team Trump wants us to believe.” (01/18/25)
