Edward Luce: “One measure of what stunts America’s left — and western globalists in general — is faith in ‘the arc of history’. In spite of all that has happened, Barack Obama is still wedded to the phrase. The future is on our side, he believes — even if the present is stampeding the other way.”
“Donald Trump is purging every vestige of Mr Obama’s legacy. From the Iran nuclear deal to post-racial America, he is the incinerator-in-chief. It is thus reassuring to know that he is destined for history’s ash heap. Mr Trump may not be aware of his fate but educated people are.”
“Alas, the problem with the long run is that it can take a long time to come. Lots of stuff can happen in between.”
