THE MURDER OF Charlie Kirk has done for the Trump 2.0 regime what the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 did for George W.

IN THE UNITED States' post-Constitutional twilight zone of the second Trump presidency, interlocking conflicts are converging. Neither the domestic nor global orders are any longer “rules-based” in the ways that have been previously assumed. The consequences are unpredictable but likely to be explosive.
