ORANGE ALERT: The (almost) daily outrage

A stack of evidence that Trump either doesn't understand or doesn't care about the idea of the presidency as a stewardship, a public trust...that is meant to be handed off after a bounded time period.

No, he’s great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday.”
