A historian claims Steve Bannon repeatedly tried to prompt him into saying that the US was on the brink of a third world war. David Kaiser said Donald Trump’s now chief White House strategist “really made an effort” in a 2009 interview to persuade him the “fourth turning” would be at least as big as the Second World War. Mr Bannon’s belief that global society repeats itself and runs in cycles, divided up by a war every 80 or 100 years, has been well documented in recent weeks.
Poor old Jared Kushner, the son-in-law with the much-trumpeted power to ‘tame’ the American president, couldn’t prevent that disgraceful White House Holocaust statement which somehow just failed to mention the Jews of Europe. In an extraordinary attack, Bradley Burston of the leftist ‘Haaretz’ newspaper has fired off a volley at the White House. “It’s an inconceivably scary thought,” he wrote this week, “that the Trump administration is simply winging it, breakneck, disrupting and detonating and taking America apart – and all of it without a plan.
Germany's latest record trade surplus announced Thursday may be a point of pride for some, but experts warn the imbalance is doing more harm than good as grumbling grows in the Trump White House. Germany's trade surplus has repeatedly broken records in the years since the 2008-09 financial crisis. The new high is likely to feed criticisms from the US and elsewhere that Germany exports too many of its machine tools, chemicals, and cars, while failing to reinvest the proceeds.
