Over the last few days Mr Trump in the US has lost a significant amount of support among his nationalist followers, largely because the US nationalist Republican political party has no obvious nor compelling understanding of the reality of their own ideology and also because there is no political constituency in the US that supports the polity of abolitionist military power, which is where the US is right now.

The last few days have shown that the US is now officially in a period of decline, Mr Trump has no capacity to reverse this trend.

We wish the American people well as they grapple with their pending situation, and for everybody else, including our more reasonable compatriots in the US, we wish you an ongoing glorious and beautiful summer.

As ever, solidarity.
