I can’t explain it.” The president’s behavior has reportedly alarmed even those sympathetic to him: Peter Baker [reported in The Times](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfRk6gP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wOC8yMy91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1lY29ub215LXRyYWRlLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMTkwODI2P2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExOTA1JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTY0ODQmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAxOTA4MjZXA255dEIKACCgyWNduS_mLVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) that his aides and allies have “privately expressed concern that he was hurting the economy and was doing lasting damage to his own prospects for re-election.” But if there is anything really new about Mr. Trump’s behavior in these last days of August, it’s a difference of degree, not of kind — and it may not even be a difference of degree. This is a man, after all, who began his presidential campaign by complaining that Mexican immigrants were criminals and “rapists.” He’s regularly accused public servants of treason and praised North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. The past week may echo Mr. Trump’s praise for far-right extremists as “very fine people” after the 2017 violence in Charlottesville, Va., and his cowed performance next to Russian President Vladimir Putin at Helsinki in 2018. Such extreme moments snap into focus what James Comey referred to in congressional testimony as “the nature of the person.” After Charlottesville, it became increasingly acceptable for mainstream political commentators to discuss Mr. Trump’s racism. After Helsinki, discussions of the president’s bizarre posture toward Russia no longer seemed quite so taboo. Perhaps the dog days of summer 2019 will move the members of the political class most concerned about civility toward an acknowledgment of both Mr. Trump’s stereotyped beliefs about Jews and his unstable nature. That said, it is always telling what particular outbursts from the president move White House staffers and congressional Republicans to raise their anonymous “alarm” with the press. The prospect of an increasingly wobbly economy and supposedly reduced re-election odds is apparently enough to do this. The president’s anti-Semitism and his casual disregard for the dignity and self-determination of the people of Greenland don’t rise to that level. The prophet of the Trump administration remains the president’s former economic adviser Gary Cohn, who considered leaving his post after Charlottesville but stuck it out and resigned only when Mr. Trump had done something truly unforgivable — levy tariffs. The economy, it seems, is a dealbreaker; hatred and racism aren’t. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act. According to Mr. Trump, it allows him to push American companies out of China — “[case closed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfRk6gP0TSaHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS9yZWFsRG9uYWxkVHJ1bXAvc3RhdHVzLzExNjUxMTExMjI1MTAyMzc2OTY_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE5MDUmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjQ4NCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImbmw9ZGF2aWQtbGVvbmhhcmR0JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMTkwODI2VwNueXRCCgAgoMljXbkv5i1SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).” Not so fast — but it is true that IEEPA, as it’s known, gives the president a wide breadth of authority.
