Houellebecq on Trump

Next in my series of writers on politicians comes this. Short and readable, with thoughts ranging from the military-historical ("the fact is that Americans have always been incapable, practically since aviation began, of carrying out a proper bombing") to the national-civilisational ("I don’t want to play the “licentious Frenchman,” a character I loathe, I’m just pleading for the maintenance of a minimal level of hypocrisy, without which no life in human society is possible"), there is something for almost everyone.
