The Case for Catastrophism
Donald Trump’s sway can be situated within the global rise of populism, but he’s not just a symptom of international trends. Adam Gopnik explores how a
distinct cultural milieu—one defined by long-dead tabloid heroes such as John Gotti, the Mob boss, and George Steinbrenner, the Yankees owner—shaped
Trump into a singularly dangerous political actor.

“My Camp”
BY Joshua Cohen
Photograph by Naila Ruechel for The New Yorker
uman nature, yes. Nature nature, no. I know nothing about it. A rose is a rose is my tradition, but then feelings lead us

its boulders show me how to concentrate.
