With his new Board of Peace, which debuted at Davos, Trump has announced that he wants to be king of the world.

And that was how he introduced his new Board of Peace: as if he had been anointed not just a world leader but the leader of the world. With friends like those on Trump’s Board of Peace, who needs a separate axis of autocracy? As Mark Carney pointed out at Davos, Trump has ushered in not a transition but a rupture in the world order.
