    Trump, and a large portion of the US electorate, don’t understand soft power. The idea of propping others up helps yourself; of graciously taking a back seat in one area to strengthen your position in another. It’s fucking infuriating, and it’s going to have ramifications long after Trump joins Kissinger.
