Renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs has issued a stark warning about the state of American democracy, asserting that the U.S. political system has “collapsed” under President Donald Trump. In his critique, Sachs emphasized the rise of autocratic leadership, calling it “one-person rule” and condemning the erosion of democratic norms. “It doesn’t get dumber than this,” Sachs remarked, highlighting what he views as a breakdown in rational governance. He further argued that the era of U.S.-Europe global dominance is coming to an end, signaling a major shift in world order and urging a rethinking of current geopolitical strategies.
