Gordon Campbell: On The Trump Upside, And Peters Persecution Of Trans People

A recurring aspect of the Trump tariff coverage is that it normalises – or even sanctifies – a status quo that in many respects has been a disaster for working class families. No doubt, Donald Trump is an uncertainty machine that is tanking the stock market and the growth prospects of the global economy. Just as surely, New Zealand will suffer.

Perhaps instead, we need to treat Trump II as a pandemic/climate change scale of convulsion that offers as much of an opportunity as it does a threat.
