Trumpâs chaos abroad mirrors the damage heâs inflicting on Washington (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump brought vast incoherence to domestic and international policy for the US â echoing the damage he is doing to the face of the countryâs capital city. The next president will have a massive task to restore any semblance of normality. In recent years, I have become weary of the normalisation of madness that emanates from the White House. We are confronted by a still-powerful but delusional leader who projects his delusions towards the rest of us. It is the political equivalent of t
US visa restrictions raise the stakes in its escalating dispute with SA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The disputes between the US and South Africa have now taken on a whole new texture as the US will bar certain individuals â presumably mostly government officials â from entry into the US.

Most political memoirs or books about a leaderâs time in office take one of several well-trod pathways. A newly retired president or foreign minister will write about their struggles to achieve their goals, the fasc
The narcissist in the White House heads for ever more dangerous waters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trumpâs ego-driven, loyalty-first approach has weakened Nato ties, favoured personal allies like Putin, and escalated conflict risks with Iran, threatening economic shocks and fractured partnerships. More than a decade ago, before Donald Trump was elected president, I was fascinated â and more than slightly terrified â by what his presidency could mean for the US and the world.
