David Remnick on Trump

David Remnick is editor of The New Yorker.

Everything this man writes is impressive.

"As the Germans know better than we do, disaster can take a nation by surprise, slowly, and then all at once.

"I don't know that Donald Trump is anything more to Putin than what Lenin called a poleznye durak, a useful idiot.

"Right-wing populism requires the denigration of an "Other." Left-wing populism tends to be about the haves and have-nots."
