The World Without Trump won’t be a world without Trump*. (For the exception, see below.) Trump will not go away. He'll persist as a pest that’s driven from the desk but not from the room he’s in.

Stealing An Election

South of the border, it's a different story: The foundational weakness in the American system is that electoral administration remains in partisan control at the local and state levels.

It’s going to be over.” He says this amid a surge of infections in the U.S. and an outbreak in his vice president's office. None of this has changed his message. His own infection didn't change his message: *The virus isn't so bad. It doesn't cause serious consequences for most people. It will disappear soon on its own. Vaccines will b...
