Trump woke us up to the need for independent courts


The mightiest military power, the biggest donor for many countries, rebuilder of Europe after the Second World War, the biggest funder for many UN bodies, the self-appointed global policeman, the ever-anxious do-gooder, the unthinking bungler into things that it understood very little, the warmonger par excellence, the biggest arms seller, home to the highest number of Nobel Prize winners, the country with some of the world's best universities, or the most diverse population, who are most easy to strike up a conversation with compared to people anywhere else in the world – the list goes on and on.

The coming of Trump added an altogether new dimension to attention grabbing. First out of curiosity, then out of disbelief and finally out of fear, we all listened, read and followed with ever-growing anxiety what President Donald Trump said or did.
