There is something almost bizarrely edifying about the Trump administration. Ruthless self-interest has always been the American way. It’s just that previous administrations have had the oratorical skills to conceal it within global, aspirational values. Freedom. Democracy. Stuff like that. That these guys just don’t have the bullshitting skills is refreshing in its way.
