Trump’s xenophobic response to the violent assault, including his racist social media posts on Truth Social, proved for many observers once again not only his shortcomings as a national leader during times of crisis, but also as a human being.

“He’s not thinking about the democratization of Venezuela, let alone the narco-trafficking,” said the Latin American leader. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with oil.”

If the US tests a nuclear weapon, Russia and China are far more likely to begin testing nuclear weapons of their own, as Russia has already threatened.

The allegations are shocking, but the larger danger lies in what happens next. Every time the walls close in, Trump reaches for spectacle—rage, chaos, or even war—to change the subject.

“If you’re just an average citizen, you can’t even get in the line,” one attorney said. “I told my guy he’d probably be better off if he broke into the Capitol or made a major donation to Trump’s inauguration.”

In the fight to save democracy, T-Mobile has chosen the wrong side: It’s hosting Trump Mobile on its network, is partnering with Elon Musk’s Starlink, and it lobbied in favor of Trump’s deadly budget bill. T-Mobile has also engaged in years of union busting.
