Trumpism, Trumpists

Monday 3rd of November 2025

Trumpism An upside-down flag, adopted by Trump supporters contesting the Biden victory, flew over the justice’s front lawn as the Supreme Court was considering an election case. … Judicial experts said in interviews that  the flag was a clear violation of ethics rules, which seek to avoid even the appearance of bias, and could sow doubt about Justice Alito’s impartiality in cases related to the election and the Capitol riot. New York Times, May 16, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Trumpism And he came to see there was nothing arbitrary or capricious about the Trump administration's attitude toward public data. Under each act of data suppression usually lay a narrow commercial motive: a gun lobbyist, a coal company, a poultry company. “The NOAA webpage used to have a link to weather forecasts,” he said. “It was highly popular. I saw it had been buried. And I asked: Now why would they bury that?” Then he realized: the man Trump nominated to run NOAA thought that people who wanted a weather forecast should have to pay him for it. There was a rift in American life that was now coursing through American government. It wasn't between Democrats and Republicans. It was between the people who were in it for the mission and the people who were in it for the money. Michael Lewis, The Fifth Risk © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism As long as Donald Trump is breathing,  the odds are that he will run again in 2024. This has become clear not because his ambitions have changed — Trump is no longer concerned with his business except to prevent its collapse — but because Republicans are all in for Caesarism. The party as a whole now has one truth, which is whatever Trump says, even if it is different after breakfast than before. Edward Luce, Financial Times, July 29, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Conservatives love to jeer Democrats for being obsessed with Trump, for letting him live, as many put it, rent-free in our heads. It's a cruel accusation, like setting someone's house on fire and then  laughing at them for staring at the flames. The outrage Trump sparks leaves less room for many other things – joy, creativity, reflection – but every bit of it is warranted. The problem is the president, not how his victims respond to him. Michelle Goldberg, New York Times, October 29, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The constitutional problem that America is heading towards is that the Justice Department's protocol not to prosecute sitting presidents dates from another age, when a president could be expected to resign with a modicum of honour before any charges were drawn up, as Nixon did. That norm no longer applies. The unwritten convention now says in effect that, if his skin is thick enough, a president is indeed above the law. The Economist, August 25, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America's most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today's lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year's elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing. George F. Will, May 9, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The fact that Trump's party and his net- work always look for ways to excuse him has been hugely liberating for Trump. He can actually deny he said things that were recorded – like his trashing of the British prime minister. He can take one side of any issue (like trashing key NATO allies to satisfy his base), and, when he gets blowback, take the other side (claim to love the Atlantic alliance). And he can declare that he really meant to ask why “wouldn't” Russia be the one hacking us instead of why “would” it, as he did say. Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times, July 18, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Flattery is a necessary but not a sufficient condition with Trump. There has to be a win in there. Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism For a sense of how person– rather than idea–centered US populism has become, ask yourself: if Trump proposed a truce with China,  or embraced green taxes, or even softened his line on immigration somewhat,  how much of his core support would he lose? Given that he has already championed the Covid-19 vaccines that much of his base mistrusted, without alienating them, I suspect the answer is “less than we  think”. Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, November 28, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Trumpism For as much as it seems that Donald Trump has changed something about the character of this country, the truth is he hasn't. Everything we've seen in the last four years – the nativism, the racism, the corruption, the wanton exploitation of the weak and unconcealed contempt for the vulnerable – is as much a part of the American story as our highest ideals and aspirations. Jamelle Bouie, New York Times, October 29, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism He [Ryan Zinke] had so many scandals that the White House officials told him he had until the end of the year to leave or be fired. That is impressive. Getting fired for ethics violations in the Trump administration is like being fired from the Rockettes for kicking. Stephen Colbert, The Late Show, December 17, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism His supporters know there should be a Surgeon General's warning on Trump, that he's unhinging as we speak. If they felt the barometric pressure change to another Republican, they would switch. Anthony Scaramucci, quoted in Financial Times, October 11, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism However much resurgent liberals detest America's 45th president, they can thank him for sweeping away the mindset of systemic caution that has mesmerized Democratic leaders for a generation. … Mr Trump now has Republican lawmakers eating out of his hand. Those who still believed it would be possible to work across the aisle – and who pined for the days of Rockefeller Republicans – were robbed of any remaining force. Trump has done a service for the American left. Edward Luce, Financial Times, Jan. 13, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism I think what we discoverd in the Trump years is that the oligarchic pathway Republicans had carved before he came along was adjacent to authoritarianism . . . and with Trump they have made that leap. Biden gets this, interestingly enough. We now recognise in this moment what has actually been there for a long time. Now people see what’s been happening. Thank God. Heather Cox Richardson, quoted in Financial Times, July 16, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism If the first Trump presidency was, for the most part,  an improvised exercise in petty corruption, a second would likely consist of systemic abuse of the government.  There's a term to describe the sort of regime that might emerge on the other side: a Mafia state. --> Franklin Foer, The Atlantic, January/February 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Trumpism If Trump did not exist, you might describe DeSantis's philosophy as fossil fuel Christian nationalism. Its enemies are amoral tech oligarchs, Big Pharma, ESG-endorsing finance,  the corporate media and elite universities.  Since Trump does exist, we call it Trumpism. The difference lies in the competence of its execution. Edward Luce, Financial Times, December 21, 2022 © 2022 Kwiple.com
Trumpism In the person of Donald Trump, resentment entered the White House. It rode in on the back of an alliance between a tiny subset of super-wealthy 0.1 percenters (not all of them necessarily American) and a large number of 90 percenters who stand for pretty much everything the 9.9 percent are not. Matthew Stewart, The Atlantic, June 2018 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism In 2016, after several counties in North Carolina suffered severe flooding, the state tried to distribute federal disaster-relief food-benefit cards on the day of the presidential election, to give poor people a choice between eating and voting. Michael Lewis, The Fifth Risk © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism It has been written, and I've written it myself, that the Republicans have been weak in the face of Trumpism. But I've come to think that's wrong. They're not weak at all. Most of them are perfectly happy to have become Trump's vassals. They were waiting for just such a man. Michael Tomasky, New York Review of Books, August 16, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism It is not as though Mr Trump lacks business friends. But they differ from the traditional crowd. Almost none run publicly listed com- panies. They tend to be property developers, private equity billionaires, casino magnates, and heads of family-owned companies. They swim in different water to C-suite executives. Many are based in middle America and cater to a purely domestic market. They are little affected by the tariff wars Mr Trump has unleashed. Nor do they worry about public relations. Apple and Nike may oppose a US state when it bans transgender bathrooms, or restricts gay rights. Their stakeholder reputation demands it. America's multinational companies remain staunch internationalists. Mr Trump's friends are nationalist-populists. Edward Luce, Financial Times, Jan. 6, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Jenny Hopkinson, a Politico  reporter, obtained the curricula vitae of the new Trump people. Into USDA [Dept. of Agriculture] jobs, some of which paid $80,000 a year, the Trump team had inserted a long- haul truck driver, a clerk at AT&T, a gas-company meter reader, a country club cabana attendant, a Republican National Committee intern, and the owner of a scented candle company, with skills like “pleasant demeanor” listed on their rêsumê. Michael Lewis, The Fifth Risk © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Keep reminding yourself: this is not normal. Write it on a Post-it note and stick it on your refrigerator, hire a skywriter once a month, tattoo it on your ass. Because a Klan-backed internet troll is going to be delivering the next State of the Union address. And that is not normal: it is fucked up. John Oliver © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism  Last summer, two years after an upside-down American flag was flown outside the Virginia home of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., another provocative symbol was displayed at his vacation house in New Jersey, according to interviews and photographs. This time, it was the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, which, like the inverted U.S. flag, was carried by rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. …  During the period the Appeal to Heaven flag was seen flying at the justice’s New Jersey house,  a key Jan. 6 case arrived at the Supreme Court, challenging whether those who stormed the Capitol could be prosecuted for obstruction. New York Times, May 22, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Liberals and Democrats in particular need to distinguish between their ongoing battle with Republican policies and the challenge posed by Trump and his followers. One can be fought through the processes of the constitutional system; the other is an assault on the Constitution itself. Robert Kagan, Washington Post, September 23, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism A map of his support may coordinate with racist Google searches, but it coordinates even better with deindustrialization and despair, with the zones of economic misery that thirty years of Washington's free-market consensus have brought to the rest of America. Thomas Frank, Rendevous with Oblivion © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Modern political parties are an ecosystem of interest groups, lobby organizations, job seekers, campaign donors and intellectuals. All have a stake in the party’s viability; all ultimately depend on being roughly aligned with wherever the party is at a given moment; and so all had to make their peace with Trump, too. Robert Kagan, Washington Post, September 23, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism … the most reliable predictor for who was a Trump voter wasn't race  but the combination of race and education. Among white people, 38 percent of college graduates voted for Trump, compared with 64 percent without college degrees. This margin —the great gap between Smart America and Real America — was the decisive one. It made 2016 different from previous elections, and the trend only intensified in 2020. George Packer, The Atlantic, July/August 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Nine days in spring offered a case study in Mr. Trump's approach to some of the most daunting issues confronting him and the nation: When the goal seems frustratingly out of reach through traditional means, threaten drastic action, set a deadline, demand concessions, cut a deal – real or imagined – avert the dire outcome and declare victory. If nothing else, he forces attention on the issue at hand. Whether the approach yields sustainable results seems less certain. Peter Baker, New York Times, June 9, 2019, after calling off threatened tariffs on Mexico © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism No Friends, No Enemies Trump Doctrine defined by an unnamed “a senior administration official” quoted in The Atlantic, June, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism  No movement that centres on Palm Beach has a tragic view of life and history. Janan Ganedh,, Financial Times, March 31, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Trumpism No one in the Trump administration was likely to ever come right out and say: “We want to let kids and old people go hungry.” But, obviously, they might run the program so ineptly that it lost its political support. And then kids and old people would go hungry. Michael Lewis, The Fifth Risk © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism One of the hallmarks of the Trump era is the alacrity with which intelligent people embrace stupidity. Stuart Stevens, It Was All a Lie © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism One of the most corrosive effects of Trumpism upon the political culture has been to detach the law from any behavioral definition and to attach it to political identity. As Trump likes to say, “The other side is where there are crimes.” He has trained his supporters to under- stand this statement as a syllogism: If Trump's opponents are doing something, its a crime; if Trump and his allies are doing it, it isn't. Jonathan Chaitt, New York, September 14-27, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Permanent destabilization created American advantage Trump Doctrine defined by an unnamed “senior national security official” quoted in The Atlantic, June, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The surreal nature of his presidency was captured on Saturday when his lawyers, including former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, held a press conference at a nondescript small business on the outskirts of Philadelphia called Four Seasons Total Landscaping, nestled between a crematorium and a sex shop called Fantasy Island. Financial Times, November 8, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism There is no discernible Trumpism independent of Trump himself. His presidency was an earthquake, the immediate result of a political landscape  shifting after decades of mounting pressure. Earthquakes do not build anything. They disrupt and destroy, but they are tempory, and they provide the benefit of exposing structues that were sloppily built or that rested on crumbled foundations. … The important question to ask about the earthquake is not about the earthquake at all. It is: What should we build now? Oren Cass, Foreign Affairs, March/April 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism “There's definitely a Trump Doctrine.” What is it? I asked. Here is the answer I received: “The Trump Doctrine is, ‘We're America, Bitch.’ That's the Trump Doctrine.” Jeffrey Goldberg, quoting a “senior White House official with direct access to the president and his thinking” in The Atlantic, June, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The presidency and dishonesty have become synonymous. Alliances are founded on trust. When that goes, they begin to dissolve. Roger Cohen, New York Times, October 29, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The president manufactures a crisis, galvanizes his base around the challenge, leaves the definition of success undefined, pretends to play hardball, and, lo and behold, finds a solution that entails little more than window-dressing, if that. For Trump, it's a win-win. The loser tends to be the American people, oftentimes Trump's base, first and foremost. Ned Price © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Put diplomatically, during Trump's tenure in office, the United States ceased to be the so-called leader of the free world. Put more bluntly, large parts of the Trump administration  effectively defected to the autocratic camp. Yascha Mounk, Foreign Affairs, March/April 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The Republican Party was built on a coalition of the nation's biggest winners from globalization and its biggest losers. The winners wrote the policy; the losers provided the votes. While the party leaders coalesced upon more immigration, less secure health coverage, and one more Bush, the rank and file were frantically signaling: less immigration, better health coverage, and no more Bushes. David Frum, Trumpocracy  © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism  The sheep are leaving the shepherd. Edward Luce, Financial Times, June 7, 2018, on the effects of Trump's policies on America's long-standing allies  © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The thing to fear from the Trump presidency is not the bold overthrow of the Constitution, but the stealthy paralysis of government; not the open defiance of law, but an accumulating subversion of norms; not the deployment of state power to intimidate dissidents, but the incitement of private violence to radicalize supporters. … Trump gambled that Americans resent each other's difference more than they cherish their shared democracy. So far, that gamble has paid off. David Frum, Trumpocracy  [2018] © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism This is a presidency marked by chaotic lurching actions that often make no sense, leaving even some top Trump appointees baffled. The political termites Trump has loosed into our government are a wrecking crew doing damage not so obvious because they eat away at the foundations of good government … This is a kakistocracy, a government of the worst people. The Trump administration can be described with three words: Dissemble, Dismantle, and Destroy. David Cay Johnston, It's Even Worse Than You Think © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism [T]he Trump administration doesn't believe in fact-based policy. Basically, it doesn't believe in facts, period. Everything is political. Paul Krugman, New York Times, May 9, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Trump has severed America from the idea of America. Liberty's torch cannot be the symbol of a country committed to building walls. Roger Cohen, New York Times, October 29, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism  The Trump presidency is about Trump. Period. Full stop. David Cay Johnston, It's Even Worse Than You Think  © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Trumpism is a political tendency catering to the deep visceral sense that we  used to run things  until they  came along and took that control away. That's it. And now they  run things and we  need someone strong, powerful, potent, who will take the country back so we  can run it and make it great again. …  The wes on average, in the main, tend to be white,  working-class folks, particularly those who are  rural, Christian-identified, although they are by  no means the only people who fall into this group. … As for the theys, in contrast to the wes, the list keeps getting longer and longer. … It's black folks  and non-white folks in general. It's LGBTQ folks,  businesses that host drag lunches, teachers and  librarians, academics, the media, public health officials, woke billion-dollar corporations, the so-called deep state, the FBI, just to name a few. Chris Hayes, All In with Chris Hayes, Jan. 20, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Trumpocracy as a system of power rests not on deregulation but on nonregulation, not on deconstructing the state but on breaking the state in order to plunder the state. David Frum, Trumpocracy © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Two traits have historically marked off European-style fascism from more home- grown American traditions of illiberalism: contempt for legality and the cult of violence. Presidential-era Trumpism operated through at least the forms of law. Presidential-era Trumpism glorified military power, not mob attacks on government institutions. Postpresidentially, those past inhibitions are fast dissolving. The conversion of Ashli Babbitt into a martyr, a sort of Horst Wessel, expresses the transformation. David Frum, The Atlantic, July 13, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism Unremarkable people can get a remarkable life in Congress and that's what keeps the average Republican backbencher in fatso's thrall. Sticking with Trump guarantees them something that's bigger than faith, family, country or objective reality. They get to keep the best job they could ever get with absolutely nothing to recommend their lazy, ignorant ass for it. Bill Maher, Real Time with Bill Maher, August 6, 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Trumpism What we’re seeing, I liken it to a land, sea and air attack. The land attack is on voting rights. That is one of the ways that you begin to undermine democracy. The sea attack are these attacks against  teaching critical race theory and “divisive” topics, so you can erase people from American history and  erase the role of various people in American history. And the air attack is the loosening of gun laws  that we're seeing in Texas, Tennessee and Georgia.  This is a full-blown assault on American democracy that’s going after voting rights, that's going after education and that is reinforcing political violence as an acceptable method of bringing about your political aims. Carol Anderson, New York Times Magazine, March 20, 2022 © 2022 Kwiple.com
Trumpism When scientists examine a species that resembles another, but only incompletely or imperfectly, they add the suffix oid. A chemical compound that's not quite an alkaline is an alkoloid;  an orbiting space rock not quite a planet is a planetoid. In the same way, Trump and his ilk are fascoid  — near it,  but not quite the same, a failure even as fascists. David Frum, Trumpocalypse  © 2020 Kwiple.com
Trumpism The worst fate of the press in a second Trump term would be neither legal jeopardy nor financial ruin. It would be irrelevance. --> George Packer, The Atlantic, January/February 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com
Trumpists But in the past 18 months, what was once nuanced praise has metastasized into obsequious fawning. Too much is never enough. Superlatives are tossed out like Mardi Gras beads on Fat Tuesday. Roxanne Roberts, Washington Post, June 5, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com

Trumpists I agreed with [conservatives who said the Christian right would never vote for an atheist even if the atheist sided with them on hot-button issues like abortion] , at least to an extent. My partner, the theologian, was aghast. He said that the atheist would be per- fectly fine with the two conservatives, because their religion was political, rather than their politics being religious. Watching the Christian community line up behind Donald Trump has made me realize how very right that guy was back in 1979. Charles P. Pierce © 2018 Kwiple.com

Trumpists In 2009, it was a big deal when congress- man Joe Wilson yelled out “You lie!”  during Obama's state of the union address. But this year, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert repeatedly, repeatedly interruped Biden during his state of the union address. Look at them! [accom-  panying photo of them standing and yelling]  Excuse me, Karen! The president is talking.

Trumpists The most intriguing Donald Trump voters I met there weren't the most extreme. They were upper-middle people in several senses — age, income, education — who had never been able to play the rebel before. What he conferred on these country club and Chamber of Commerce types was the glamour of transgression: a sort of second youth. Again, I don’t say they were misguided. I just report the glee with which they cocked a snook. Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, September 30, 2022 [“To cock a snook” is British slang for “to show disrespect for something”]  © 2022 Kwiple.com
Trumpists Of course, to stay, you must be seen as on his team, so you make further compromises. You use his language, praise his leadership, tout his commitment to values. And then you are lost. He has eaten your soul. James Comey, New York Times, May 2, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpists One thing that I found disturbing during the address to the joint session of Congress was how Mike Pence gazed worshipfully at the back of Trump's head for an hour straight. Everyone in the senior staff thought that Mike Pence was a Stepford Veep. Omarosa, Unhinged © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpists The people Trump despises most love him the most. He'd be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there's any people who look like you. I'm talking to you in the audience. Howard Stern © 2020 Kwiple.com

Trumpists They were living in the world dominated by the self-serving professionals who screwed things up and survived to screw things up again. Despite what the Beltway types assured them, they knew that the wars were corrupt and the trade deals were bad. And what others saw as Trump's false- hoods they saw as a form of honesty, a plain-speaking directness that was refreshing in all its vulgarity. They looked not to be saved by experts but rescued from them, and Trump's achievement was to make himself the vehicle of their hopes. Thomas Frank, Rendevous with Oblivion © 2018 Kwiple.com
Trumpists Virtually all the people Trump had sent into the Department of Agriculture were white men in their twenties. They exhibited no knowledge of, or interest in, the problems of rural Americans. Michael Lewis, The Fifth Risk © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trumpists A Washington Post-Schar School poll, conducted between June 27 and July 2, found that 57 per cent of Americans disapprove of Mr Trump's actions on trade. However, in the 15 states ranked by the Brookings Institution as most likely to be affected by the tariffs tit-for-tat, Mr Trump currently has a 57 per cent  approval rating, according to the same poll. That is five points higher than his support in those states during the 2016 election. Financial Times, July 13, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com

Trumpists say My views are a little controverial when it comes to voter registration. Everyone is wanting to make it as easy as possible and kind of appeal to the lowest common denominatior of the easiest way to get as many people as possible. I see it the exact opposite.

Trumpists [W]hile the Republicans would rather win than not, defeat isn’t a disaster. For the grassroots, there is still the feeling of tribal belonging that Trump confers on his flock.

Trumpists  You can dismiss Trump voters all you want but give them this: They're every bit as American as any idealized vision of the place. If Trump wins in 2024, his detractors will have to reckon once again with the voters who got us here — to reconcile what it means to share a country with so many citizens who keep watching Trump spiral deeper into his moral void and still conclude, “Yes, that's our guy.” Mark Leibovich, The Atlantic, January/February 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com

In other words, you must shield others like yourself by practicing and urging “jury nullification.” And, by the way, when the police –a fortiori the FBI – come to talk, you don't know or remember anything – except that they answer to your enemies. Don't be a good German. Angelo Codevilla, October 23, 2020 © 2021 Kwiple.com
