“Richard Nixon understood that he was doing wrong and therefore hid it,” Larry Summers said. “President Trump is shouting it from the rooftops, seeking to normalize what was previously criminal. That kind of impunity is a much greater threat to democracy.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

As I’ve been saying for years, Trump’s pronouns are me/me/me/me/me/me/me. Everything is always about him. There is no consideration or empathy for anyone else, no principles or values other than what’s best for him.

It’s very bad that Republican senators rolled over for Bondi, Patel, and Hegseth. But it was somewhat predictable given our tribal politics.
