The Proof of Trump’s Ignorance of the Middle East Is in the Pudding of Mistakes

There is a familiar political pathology in America: the belief that a sufficiently loud man, armed with enough self-regard, can bully history into obedience. Donald Trump is the latest and most flamboyant specimen of this disease. He has never...
