Timothy Snyder on Trump: He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week..

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this manâ€™s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

2/2. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.
