".....the single most striking thing about his matchlessly-strange first week is how primitive, atavistic, and uncomplicatedly-brutal Trumps brand of authoritarianism is turning out to be. We have to go back to “1984” because, in effect, we have to go back to 1948 to get the flavor.


Trumps lies, and his urge to tell them, are pure Big Brother crude, however oafish their articulation. They are not postmodern traps and temptations; they are primitive schoolyard taunts and threats."
