Instead of people griping about his podcasts (which may or may not have been a good idea on his part) try watching what he’s been saying and doing all along. During the misery of Covid, he kept us informed & fought trump. Even before that, he reminded us of where we stood in the world economy, and in a moment of hubris called us “a nation-state.”

Ironically, it is trump himself who is showing the way in ignoring norms and flouting accepted trade laws and practices. trump may have broken everything already — maybe it’t time for the Dem gov of the largest state to test that.
