As the world finally punches back, was this the week Donald Trump went too far?

The US president took his bullying doctrine to Davos and hit a wall of opposition. If this creates a new western alliance against him, all to the good, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

“On Christmas Eve (because of course), the Trump administration quietly imposed visa bans on Europeans working to counter online hate and disinformation, accusing them of “censorship.”

Europe didn’t take it quietly.”

How Will You Know That America Has Become a Dictatorship? After 20 Years Living in One, I Can Tell You.
