Trump’s Amplifier Administration – The Atlantic

In Donald Trump’s first administration, he was surrounded by stamps and filters, but in his second, he is surrounded by amplifiers. On a special edition of Washington week with the AtlanticThe chronicler of foreign affairs, Thomas Friedman, joins to discuss the chaos of Trump’s conflicts and the way in which world leaders are looking at instability.

Meanwhile, the end of Donald Trump’s friendship with Elon Musk was never really a question of “if”, but “when”. “Nothing here is modeled, nothing here is tested at stress, everything is a riff,” said Friedman last night. “The country is managed like the Trump organization today, not like the United States of America.”

Regarding the quarrel of Trump and Musk, “we are dealing with two extremely unstable characters”, continues Friedman. “But what is really more important is: what does the public say in the wider world?”
