"A has power over B," said the political scientist Robert Dahl, "to the extent that he can get B to do something that B would not otherwise do." In Washington's new power equation, "A" is Donald Trump and "B" is everyone else.

He clawed his way out of the political wilderness after 2020 by capitalizing on flawed opposition, the personal and policy failures of Biden and Harris, and prosecutorial lawfare.

Wall Street swoons. The world holds its breath.
