Another fantastic column. For a related example, I'd point to Ferguson's equally breathless ode in the Daily Mail comparing Elon Musk to Napoleon, which is chock-full of great laughers such as "Like the French Emperor, Musk throughout his life has evinced a warlike spirit. He grew up in a violent society (late-apartheid South Africa) and has long enjoyed playing battle-simulating computer games."
Ferguson has consistently been a reliable voice to put a pseudo-intellectual polish on any ridiculous Trump policy. He basically takes some dumb thing Trump does, justifies it as some 4-dimensional masterstroke, and says Trump is actually really smart and this dumb thing he did proves how stupid his critics are for thinking it was dumb.
The Davos speech was an embarrassing, malicious, juvenile spectacle. Saying “I have never before seen a single individual so completely dominate this vast bazaar of the powerful, the wealthy, the famous, and the self-important,” makes you impossible to take seriously. It makes you look as ridiculous as Scott Bessent every Sunday. The Greenland episode Trump supposedly won did nothing but make China stronger.
People like Ferguson like to talk about how the left has gone insane, but something in the water on the right has driven him insane, too, and his wife is drinking from the same trough. Once-reasonable people have become ludicrous during the Trump years out of some complete overreaction to perceived cultural threats from the left.

One wonders with such a tiny dick how does Trump get so many to suck it.
