Americans voted against the incumbent party, like every other developed country in the world, this year .

The shock waves from the Covid-19 pandemic — inflation, empty shelves, housing prices — are global and this is a global trend.

Trump actually did worse than most other non-incumbents, according to the Financial Times .

Frida Ghitis: Donald Trump ’s immigration policies are snake oil.

She says they’re a bunch of snake oil: Tariffs will increase inflation, not decrease it; he won’t. Nothing will bring back the manufacturing jobs of the 1980s because big business depends on lower wages in Mexico .

Ghitis says swing voters may finally stop falling for the Republican shell game of populist/nationalist/religious rhetoric and plutocratic policies.
