By now you’ve seen Trump’s big speech at Davos.
The slurring,
the confusing of Greenland and Iceland,
the nonsense about wind power,
and the racist smearing of Somalis before the whole world
—it was an unmitigated disaster.
But things got worse when Trump’s propagandists spun it all as a world-historical triumph:
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashed an extraordinary stream of obsequious praise,
absurdly declaring that

Trump: "Tomahawk"-Ausbildung zu zeitaufwendig
US-Präsident Donald Trump hat seine Entscheidung verteidigt, der Ukraine keine "Tomahawk"-Marschflugkörper zu liefern. Seiner Begründung zufolge würde es zu lange dauern, das ukrainische Militär im Umgang mit dem Langstrecken-Waffensystem zu schulen. Trump erklärte, es würden "mindestens sechs Monate" oder sogar ein Jahr benötigt, um die "Tomahawk"-Marschflugkörper effektiv einzus…

Trump: I won't use force to take Greenland
On Nato, Trump said “we give so much, and we get so little in return.”
At Davos Trump said the US only gets “death, disruption, and massive amounts of cash [given] to people who don’t appreciate what we do.”
– and he’s taking about both Nato and Europe generally.
Trump then points out Nato chief Mark Rutte in the audience
– who this morning was complimentary about Trump’s pressure to raise military spending among Nat…

Trump unveils a new class of Navy battleship -- named after himself
Donald Trump on Monday said he will oversee the development of a new class of Navy battleship
— named after himself.
The move was cast in part as an effort to give the nation’s stagnant shipbuilding industry a shot in the arm,
but also will upend the Navy’s ship-naming norms and thrust presidential politics firmly into the program from its genesis.
The announcement follows a flurry of recent …

Trump is demanding the Justice Department pay him $230 million
to compensate him for the federal investigations into him
— a situation with no parallel in American history in which the officials reviewing Trump’s claims are his own allies
Trump said he might use those funds to pay for "his" ballroom.
“He seems to be upending all the norms that are associated with the presidency,”
Matt Smith, a tourist from Lexington, N.C.,
observed this afternoo…
