DemocracyDemocratsEconomyEUPoliticsRepublicansTariffsUS Liberal Europeans hate Donald Trump. They also tend to misjudge him. I see this tendency particularly strongly represented in the media, where wishful thinking is the guiding principle. The media drew the wrong political conclusions about his criminal trials last year. Now they are misjudging last week’s court ruling blocking his 2 April reciprocal tariffs.

The tragedy of Europe has been foretold in the fable Two Boats and a Helicopter. A priest finds himself trapped by a flood. A canoe comes by. But he declines the invitation to step in on the grounds that God will save him. The waters rise further. A motorboat comes, and the captain invites him on board. He stays put. Finally, a helicopter arrives, but the priest still declines. He drowns, and when in heaven he asks God why he did not help him. God says back: I sent you two boats and a helicopter.
