“After less than a month of Trump’s second administration, America is feeling the first gusts of the whirlwind unleashed by the president’s swaggering encore. Under President Biden, Washington’s demand for primacy had encouraged Moscow and Beijing to cooperate, along with lesser powers such as North Korea and Iran. Now, Trump is encouraging allies and friends to cooperate against Washington as well. The best reason for Trump to drop his modern version of manifest destiny is that it is an awful idea for America, which already is much too big to be a genuine republic, ruled as it is from Washington.” (02/13/25)
