What did millions of voters see in Trump? His speeches hold the answer.

Donald Trump loves to pick “winners” and “losers.” And right now, in the eyes of the American people, Trump can sense that he is a loser and Zohran Mamdani is a winner.

The GOP establishment doesn't hate Trump because he's a bigot. They hate him because he doesn't promote the neoliberal agenda.

The electoral victories of Donald Trump and remaking of the Republican Party in his image can’t hide a basic fact: his party is fractured and weak.

One thing is clear after last night's debate: Donald Trump is the rotten fruit of the American ruling class.

The pro-Trump Zoomer sees the 2020s as a degenerate age and the ’80s as a time when men were men. It’s why their homemade videos are filled with VHS scan lines, old Gillette commercials, and Van Halen’s “Jump.”

One could say that Trumpism and corporate feminism are two sides of the same coin.
Trump should be a wake-up call — a frightening enough harbinger that the American dream is a dead end, leading only to failure, frustration, and thoughts of revenge.

Trump's election isn't cause for reassessing politics as we know it. Shifts in the economy and political parties created an easy opening for him.
The protesters shutting down Donald Trump's rallies aren't attacking democracy — they're protecting it.

Donald Trump’s crackdown on antisemitism seems to have strangely missed all of his appointees and allies who associate with a range of unabashed anti-Jewish bigots. It almost makes you suspect the White House’s charges of antisemitism are purely cynical.

It wasn’t just large, liberal cities but the heart of Trump country that formed the base of last Saturday’s “No Kings” protests. Together with his underwhelming military parade, they’re a warning of the softness of his support.
Donald Trump poses a threat to the Republican Party. But what type of threat does he pose to the country?

The Trump fortune was built off theft — from workers, from the state, and from the commons.

Do you want to see Donald Trump defeated in 2020? Of course you do. The candidate who is best positioned to do exactly that: Bernie Sanders.

It took less than half a year for Donald Trump to renege on the promises he incessantly made on the campaign trail and plunge the country into another dumb, potentially bloody Middle East war no one wants.

Donald Trump has spent the past month openly courting fossil fuel money and mocking the very idea of climate change. This delusional and catastrophic posture has barely registered in the US news media.

The most important thing about Donald Trump isn’t his psychological condition — it’s that he’s a capitalist. And a particular kind of capitalist at that: a lumpen capitalist.

John Bolton's absurd, self-aggrandizing new book reveals a shocking secret: Donald Trump knows next to nothing about Africa. The continent is better off without his ignorant meddling.

Liberals are right to condemn Donald Trump for his disastrous mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic and his undisguised contempt for democracy. But Trump is no aberration: his rise was only possible because of a Republican and Democratic political consensus that has ravaged American politics and society for a generation.
