E.J. Dionne Jr., The Washington Post; This is the only Trump syndrome we need to worry about
"The past week has shown that those who feared Trump’s despotic
inclinations were neither deluded nor alarmist. His shameful
indifference to the killing and dismembering of the Saudi journalist and
Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi was an act of cold collaboration with
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s coverup...
But all the tax cuts and judges in the world won’t compensate for the
cost to the United States of abandoning any claim that it prefers
democracy to dictatorship and human rights to barbarism. The syndrome we
most need to worry about is denial — a blind refusal to face up to how
much damage Trump is willing to inflict on our system of self-rule, and
on our values."
