Snippet: Donald Trump’s astonishing social media post last Tuesday threatening “a whole civilisation will die tonight” attracted appropriately furious reactions around the world.

The excuse offered by Trump’s apologists – that it was a negotiating tactic, and therefore not to be taken seriously – misses the point.
