Is President Donald Trump an aberration? If he is, Mr Joe Biden is the perfect Democratic candidate to defeat him next year, the steady hand that can restore decency, steer a middle course between Wall Street and Main Street, and reinvigorate the shaken liberal democratic order.

I don't think Mr Trump is an aberration. On the contrary, he's the face, however duplicitous, of a revolution against the Party of Davos, the network of elites whose economic and cultural prescriptions came to be seen by voters across the United States and Europe as camouflage for a self-serving heist.
