My friends — this is quite brilliant from Adam Gopnik on BBC Radio 4. Strikingly interpreting #Trump & #Trumpism through the 1960s optics of Hofstadter’s Paranoid Style & Boorstin’s Cult of Publicity & the Pseudo-event. Isolates so much of our perils bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

brilliant from Adam Gopnik, on the current US-Canadian crisis. Including the immediacy of that great formulation of Charles Taylor: ‘The most human question is not the isolating question “Who am I?” but the communal question “*Where* am I?”’. BBC Radio 4 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
