Donald Trump’s vision for his imperial presidency is organized around an old and outdated idea: the revenue tariff.

In 2016, some wondered if Donald Trump’s first-term cabinet picks would temper his worst impulses. Such questions seem laughably naive today.
Grâce à son nouveau mandat, Donald Trump a le feu vert pour mettre en œuvre la plupart sinon la totalité de ses politiques extrêmes, y compris une approche absolutiste du pouvoir présidentiel.
With his new mandate, Donald Trump has a green light to implement most, if not all, of his most extreme policies, from tariffs to cementing an absolutist approach to presidential power.
Youth unemployment and out-of-control inequality are just two reasons voters have begun to lose patience with strongman capitalism. Voting is always the key to defeating authoritarianism.
Even in places where democracy has not yet fallen off a cliff, all-powerful billionaires, broken political parties and angry voters are moving into destructive alignment.
Some European countries are turning to anti-populist coalitions to battle the rising tide of populism. Will it work?
In more than a dozen countries this year, populist leaders are poised to either take power or consolidate their hold on the opposition. Migrants are the unfortunate target of populist ire.
It will take a lot of strategic ingenuity to fight the rise of populism. And it will get harder to do so as politicians rig the game with rules designed to reduce voting.
The newest class of right-wing populists aims to not only dismantle the guardrails of democracy, but also the most fundamental principles of the rule of law. We must prepare.
