Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Maybe orchestras and companies that normally perform at the Kennedy Center should find one of the many other venues in Washington to perform at? I suspect many of us would prefer to attend concerts, theater, etc., in an atmosphere of freedom, not under the patronage of a wannabe tinpot dictator.
