I liked the lede of Eliot Cohen’s Atlantic piece on how a second Trump presidency won’t change U.S. policy that much:

“Donald Trump will likely become president again come January 20, 2025. The drama of an aging and diminishing President Joe Biden clinging to office despite the despair of Democrats who can read their candidate’s prospects clearly is not without its Shakespearean elements. As Regan says of King Lear, “He hath ever but slenderly known himself.” Like many a tragedy, Biden’s choice and its consequences were eminently foreseeable.”

Btw: I hope he’s right about our foreign policy under a Trump II presidency.
