Also: How many Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine? Read in browser July 13th 2023 The Economist this week Highlights from the latest issue Zanny Minton Beddoes Editor-in-chief What would Donald Trump’s second presidency look like? A professional corps of America First populists are busy preparing for it. If they are successful, America will be left with a weakened state and an emperor-president wielding unchecked power. This week’s cover leader outlines three flaws in MAGA Republicans’ plans; our Briefing, meanwhile, takes a deeper look at the work being done in anticipation of Mr Trump’s return to the White House. This week we also published an interview I conducted recently in New York with Jamie Dimon, boss of JPMorgan Chase, America’s biggest bank. We spoke about some of the biggest financial and geopolitical issues facing America, as well as Mr Dimon’s own political ambitions. He told me he was worried about another Trump presidency but suggested he wouldn’t run for office himself, saying, “I’ve never really believed I’m suited for it.” If you subscribe to The Economist you can watch our full 45-minute conversation; there is also a shorter version that is free to view.
