There’s a moment in every decaying empire when the leader stops asking to be admired and starts requiring it. That’s when the art gets bigger, the gold gets thicker, and dissent starts to smell like smoke. According to reporting by Donald Trump -watchers who still have the stomach for it, we’ve entered that phase. Again. Louder this time. As Peter Baker of The New York Times lays out, Trump’s lifelong obsession with branding—his name etched, stamped, bolted, and gilded ont
