The President Who “Ended Eight Wars” — Except He Didn’t

Donald Trump loves large numbers, especially when they flatter him. Eight wars ended? Why not ten? Why not twenty? In recent months he has claimed, variously, to have ended six, then seven, and now eight wars since returning to office. It’s a neat, heroic headline—if there were only a universe in which it were true.…

When Revolutions Devour Their Children: How Authoritarianism Turns on Its Own Makers

Authoritarian regimes are rarely built by a single man. They are built by coalitions—fervent believers, cynical opportunists, idealists, fanatics, and those simply desperate for belonging. In America’s current populist right, the MAGA movement represents a broad and combustible mix of all these types. Its factions—radical populists, religious nationalists, tech-libertarians, and establishment opportunists—each play a distinct…
