Two recent stories sum up the state of Donald Trump’s presidency and underscore the growing gap between him and his working-class support base. First, it emerged that Donald Trump Jr. had his wedding paid for by Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch who is also a friend of Vladimir Putin. Kremlev is believed to have stumped up a good proportion of the costs, which included hiring a $100,000-a-night island in the Bahamas as well as a $70,000 firework display. While Trump’s son is not a government employee and therefore not subject to the rules on political gifts, alarm bells ought surely to have been ringing.
