In Trump's fantasy politics, he can accomplish anything - but reality will prevail | Andy Beckett

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : "History's greatest civilization," as Trump described his country at the inauguration, is really a brutally competitive, aggressively nationalistic place - at least for large stretches - rather than the essentially benign society and superpower believed in for so long by so many liberals.
54% : Despite the claims from Trump and a credulous media that he is a unique American leader, the country has a recent tradition of Republican presidents making unattainable promises.
54% : Ominously, Keir Starmer and Trump are already telling us how well they get on.
54% : Any other non-Republicans tempted to just accept that this is the age of Trump might usefully look to the numbers behind his support.
49% : Trump may seem dizzyingly strong now.
47% : So far, explanations have tended to focus on its manic pace, contempt for political conventions and blatant subversion of supposedly one of the world's most robust democracies.
32% : Faced again by this combination of reality-denial and self-interest, how might those who oppose Trump at home and abroad, or who run governments that are going have to coexist with his, regain their political composure?
