Not to ruin your morning but here are some of what the Post chose as “highlights” from Trump’s two-hour rant last night.
The Times summed it up with this headline: “‘His Showman’s Energy Is Flagging.’”
The Trump Show is old, tired and yet so very dangerous.
Here is a summary of his rambling speech.
The facts are simple. True is an autocrat. He also is the President. The only practical way to curb his excesses is for the Democrats to win back control of at least one, but ideally both, houses of Congress this fall.
If that does not come to pass, I shudder to think of the consequences.
There is good news potentially on the unlikeliest of horizons. Nate Silver is out with this: Could Republicans blow the Texas Senate race?.
When it comes to my opinions about all of this, I will always choose hope over despair.
