Trump is now swearing in his speeches:
Some Democrats are cheering Trump because his rise improves Obama’s 2012 chances. TNR’s editorial cautions that the “Trump ascendancy calls not for glee, but for serious concern about the state of our country”
America is currently engaged in three wars. The country faces major economic challenges. Global warming is continuing apace. There is no chance any of these issues can be solved by yelling at foreign countries, or stirring up anger at Iraqis or Libyans or minority applicants to elite colleges. Donald Trump has appointed himself spokesman for some of the nastiest impulses in American politics, and he seems to have a following. The sooner the Republican mainstream rejects him, the better. And we liberals should be cheering them along as they do.
Great timing as the Washington Post invites him as their guest to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
