Trump’s weekend interview with Chris Wallace was, perhaps, the worst performance of his presidency. Trust me, that’s saying a lot.
But the scariest part is when he wouldn’t commit to accepting the results of the November election.
He’s remarkable – read on to see how I mean by “remarkable.”
Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14.
Oregon Senator Merkley characterized them as “Federal storm troopers, Trump’s personal paramilitary force” who are “sweeping people off the street with no probable cause.”
Can you say, Gestapo?
I have this recurring dream. It is a dream that is not a nightmare. In this dream that is not a nightmare I sleep for four months, awakening just in time for the election. And because it is a dream that is not a nightmare, it has a happy ending.

“The Bizarro Jerry” episode created an alternative reality in the lives of the characters. At Mt. Rushmore yesterday, Donald Trump created an alternative reality in the lives of Americans.
Yesterday, Donald Trump officially became “Bizarro Donald.”
Following up on my column yesterday dealing with my take on American Exceptionalism, here’s today’s David Leonhardt column from the Times on the subject.
I thought it would be appropriate to inspect the definition of the term American Exceptionalism and what it actually stands for in the “Age of Trump.”
