[Comment] Offline: The death of globalism (part 1)

Tempting as it is to write off the Trump phenomenon and its effects on medicine and global health as a temporary derangement of mass politics, one would be severely mistaken for doing so. The imitations and embodiments of Trumpism reach far across the world, from Latin America to Europe and Asia. The apparent random nature of the President's pronouncements and actions, his predictable unpredictability, suggests a chaotic and disorderly approach to government. But, again, such a conclusion would be a grave error.
