Everything Trump Touches Dies Goes Global

Rick Wilson

When I tell you that everything Trump touches dies, some of you still try to find exceptions. Little limited-case counterexamples. Tiny lacunae of denial where the Rule somehow does not apply.

You are, as always in those cases, quite wrong.

I am famously not a ray of sunshine when it comes to the impact and outcomes of Trump’s corruption, cruelty, ignorance, and moral rot. My expectations for the damage he can do are generally high, and in fact, asymptotically approach infinity.

But something has been haunting me for the last two days. It was a thought that sprang to mind during a livestream on Friday. I did not articulate it then because it felt too dark even for me.
