In the history of Donald Trump’s geopolitical blunders, few missteps rival the United States president’s recent barrage against Canada — a campaign that began with the preposterous notion of the sovereign nation becoming America’s 51st state and escalated with punishing tariffs on Canadian imports, including aluminium and steel.

Donald Trump called it “Liberation Day”. Last week, with characteristic theatricality, the United States president unleashed a barrage of tariffs on America’s trading partners: 10 per cent on most imports, 34 per cent on Chinese goods and 20 per cent on products from the European Union. The message was vintage Trump: “America first”, rules be damned. But for all the patriotic bravado, this move was not liberation but escalation.

In a democracy, the rule of law is not an option, but the very condition of its existence: Impartial, unyielding and blind to power. But this ideal is increasingly under siege. Not from anarchists or revolutionaries, but from the self-proclaimed defenders of law and order, namely far-right parties in Europe and beyond. France’s Marine Le Pen — convicted last week in a national court for embezzling over €4 million in European Parliament funds — is a case in point.

One would think the money the Russians paid Tim Pool to spread misinformation about Ukraine would at least allow him to stop dressing like a hobo. The dangerous unseriousness of the White House on full display — yet again.

Noteworthy: Bookmakers see it as more likely that Trump runs for a third term than divorces Melania. For those unfamiliar with betting: 4/1 odds to repeal the 22nd Amendment and thus end American democracy for good are the same as you guessing a number correctly between 1 and 5. https://t.co/bsciLQYd64
