#WolffBite: Most in US now oppose Trump/MAGA. Yet among richest 5% - the US ruling class - enough support him to let him keep power. In return, he makes the ruling rich still richer, himself included. How long will we tolerate this?

#WolffBites: Axios practices self-delusion. Its headline says US is world's best growth economy. For proof it compares with Europe, Canada and Japan. It omits China (the most important US competitor). Clever since China's growth far faster than US (true for the last 30 years).

#WolffBites: To a UN General Assembly - an institution founded in reaction against the violent horrors of World War 2, - Trump threatened to "annihilate" a fellow UN member nation of 92 million people. No excuse, not even senility.
#WolffBites: When the French complained about the high price of bread, Marie Antionette told them to eat cake instead. Trump's Ag Secretary just told Americans angry over high beef prices to eat eggs instead. No wonder Trump chose her.

#WolffBites: Two important elections in Germany: far-right wins in one case, far left in the other (the city-state of Berlin). Centrist gov't party (CDU) badly defeated in both elections.

In this interview we have a sharp debate over China: Is China really “state capitalist”? What does that label actually mean, and does it adequately explain China’s extraordinary economic and technological transformation? @profwolff@democracyatwrkpiped.video/y9j1vvzvqxM?si=UTbP… via @YouTube
