Former treasury secretary and chief executive of Goldman Sachs Hank Paulson, a Republican, has endorsed Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, writing in an op-ed for the Washington Post that Donald Trump “populist hijacking of one of the United States’ great political parties.” | Former treasury secretary and chief executive of Goldman Sachs Hank Paulson, a Republican, has endorsed Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid, writing in an op-ed for the Washington Post that Donald Trump “populist hijacking of one of the United States’ great political parties.” |
“The GOP, in putting Trump at the top of the ticket, is endorsing a brand of populism rooted in ignorance, prejudice, fear and isolationism,” Paulson wrote. “This troubles me deeply as a Republican, but it troubles me even more as an American. Enough is enough. It’s time to put country before party and say it together: Never Trump.” | “The GOP, in putting Trump at the top of the ticket, is endorsing a brand of populism rooted in ignorance, prejudice, fear and isolationism,” Paulson wrote. “This troubles me deeply as a Republican, but it troubles me even more as an American. Enough is enough. It’s time to put country before party and say it together: Never Trump.” |
Paulson, who presided over the subprime mortgage crisis that eventually ignited a global economic meltdown, wrote in the Washington Post that Trump’s record as a businessman is not a qualification so much as a liability: “I can’t help but think what would have happened if a divisive character such as Trump were president during the 2008 financial crisis, at a time when leadership, compromise and careful analysis were critical.” | Paulson, who presided over the subprime mortgage crisis that eventually ignited a global economic meltdown, wrote in the Washington Post that Trump’s record as a businessman is not a qualification so much as a liability: “I can’t help but think what would have happened if a divisive character such as Trump were president during the 2008 financial crisis, at a time when leadership, compromise and careful analysis were critical.” |

The New York bar where a police raid and ensuing riot gave birth to the gay rights movement in the US will be the site of the Stonewall National Monument, writes the Guardian’s Joanna Walters: | The New York bar where a police raid and ensuing riot gave birth to the gay rights movement in the US will be the site of the Stonewall National Monument, writes the Guardian’s Joanna Walters: |

Richard Haass, former director of policy planning for the State Department, where he was a principal advisor to Secretary Colin Powell, told reporters: “The UK has been one of this country’s most important partners. It will be less willing and able to play that role and the net result will be the special relationship will be that much less special.” | Richard Haass, former director of policy planning for the State Department, where he was a principal advisor to Secretary Colin Powell, told reporters: “The UK has been one of this country’s most important partners. It will be less willing and able to play that role and the net result will be the special relationship will be that much less special.” |
“The United States will have no alternative but to increasingly turn to and rely on other countries. So this is essentially a cloud without a silver lining when it comes to the UK itself economically and politically, when it comes to Europe or when it comes to the United States. On balance, this will diminish order in Europe and arguably beyond.” | “The United States will have no alternative but to increasingly turn to and rely on other countries.

Haass, now president of the Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations, described David Cameron’s decision to hold a referendum as “one of history’s great blunders”. Britain will be divided, poorer and distracted, he warned, diminishing its role in Europe. The vote marks the beginning of the dissolution of one of the principal countries in the world, he said, with a knock-on effect of more referenda in other European countries. | Haass, now president of the Washington-based Council on Foreign Relations, described David Cameron’s decision to hold a referendum as “one of history’s great blunders”.

He explained: “It’s a question of when and not if Scotland has a second referendum and this time it will almost certainly pass, based on the argument that it is more important to be in Europe than in the UK. I also worry that pressure will grow in Northern Ireland for a referendum on essentially whether it should unify with Ireland, and I believe that the politics surrounding that will deepen the divisions in Northern Ireland and the consequences of that could be more than serious for the stability that has been so carefully cultivated in Northern Ireland over the last two decades and I believe could be jeopardised.” | He explained: “It’s a question of when and not if Scotland has a second referendum and this time it will almost certainly pass, based on the argument that it is more important to be in Europe than in the UK.

Dean Baker, co-director of the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, said: “I was certainly surprised. I assumed that the experts were right that it would be close, but stay would win. However to me, this shows the anger that comes with failed economic policies. Clearly xenophobia and racism were major factors, but does anyone think the UK would have voted to leave if growth had averaged 2.5-3% over the last decade rather less than 1% in the UK and near zero in the EU?” | Dean Baker, co-director of the Washington-based Center for Economic and Policy Research, said: “I was certainly surprised.
