“These people either do not believe the U.S.
should be a world leader, or they’re utterly incompetent,”
As the weeks and months of Trumpist misrule and destructive disruption go by the scale of the damage this regime is doing to the US body politic and standing in the wider world image abroad becomes clearer and questions must be asked whose or which interests is all this serving. From the point of this blog, te most disturbing are not the changes in the Department of National Heritage, for the US has none, but instead the Department of State where, incongruously, is the setting for US cultural policy with regards smuggled artefacts. What we see happeningb there does not encourage optimism: Gardiner Harris, 'Diplomats Sound the Alarm as They Are Pushed Out in Droves' New York Times Nov 24th 2017). The dealers and collectors of the US (ACCP, ACDAEA, GHA and all the rest too) are rubbing their hands in glee.
