The coterie of billionaires lined up behind Trump at his inauguration weren't only paying tribute to the self-declared “king,” they were staking their claim in the new order.

In the more rarefied reaches of this coterie world, the mainstream embrace of “Topdog/Underdog” implied selling out.

It says something about the president's coterie of followers that Hegseth was the best he could do.

Trump and his coterie of billionaires are very ambitious and the right has managed to pollute many of the institutions that existed back then to rein in an authoritarian president.

The U.N. expanded beyond its initial coterie of mostly Western states to include dozens of countries, including in the Arab and Muslim world, that did not recognize Israel.
