68% Informative
Donald Trump held a press availability with the NATO Secretary, former Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte , on Thursday .
Ruben Navarrette : Rutte was deferential to Trump , laughing excitedly at his "jokes" and making sure to let him know how much he appreciated him.
He called the EU "nasty" and again made it clear that he is dead serious about annexing Canada : He seemed, as he often does lately, more than a little bit off his rocker.
Patrimonialism is distinguished by running the state as if it were the leader’s personal property or family business.
It can be found not just in states but also among tribes, street gangs, and criminal organizations.
Trump and Musk are in the process of creating a pre-modern patrimonial government where everything is decided through them on a personal basis.
