In Plane Sight

In 628 editions of this newsletter, here’s a sentence you haven’t read until now: Populists are irritated at Donald Trump.

They’re not irritated at him for his trade-war fiasco or for being a socialist or for wanting to send U.S. citizens to foreign gulags. They’re not irritated that he turned over America’s public health to someone who isn’t sure whether it’s healthier to contract measles than to be immunized. They’re not irritated that he’s wrecked longstanding alliances and poisoned opinion about the United States by trash-talking friendly nations and sporadically musing about annexing them. And they’re not irritated that he’s presently engaged in the most corrupt scam in the history of the presidency.

They’re irritated at him over a plane.
