Jonathan Bernstein: “Take Trump’s Greenland obsession. It’s pretty easy to use normal tools to explain that it’s terrible presidenting, that it won’t work, and that whether or not he gets his way the costs to his presidency are steep and not worth paying. But explaining that obsession and his willingness to act on it? That’s trickier.”
“Trump, that is, simply doesn’t respond to the normal incentives embedded in the US government.”
Bethany Albertson: “Presidents don’t float policies that are opposed by the mass public 86 – 9. This is not normal.”
