“Donald Trump is channeling Napoleon Bonaparte. It's clear he wants to be ‘Emperor Trump,’ not President Trump, but first he has to tear down a 250-year-old democracy. He's off to a good start.”-RR

Thursday:

“So much of the Trump administration’s cuts and radical changes seem designed not to trim the fat but to twist the knife in their political opposition. Worse, the administration seems to want to hurt, expel and isolate those who are most vulnerable and to get them to submit to the Trumpian will. Does this administration honestly think that this cruelty and extremism — hostile takeovers of the Kennedy Center, the elimination of LGBTQ-related medical information from the CDC website, the ‘go home’ incident with the Spanish version of the White House website, and the cruel executive order on gender — will get those they despise to reconsider core beliefs? It seems the Trump administration hopes to skip over any Christ-like middle ground and jump to forced compliance. History has shown us how that goes.”-AB

Friday:

“The President’s parroting of the Russian positions over the last few days has made it even more unclear where Vladimir Putin ends and Donald Trump begins. It’s becoming obvious that our 47th President is not only comfortable in playing a secondary role to Elon Musk, but is also auditioning for the same role with the Russian leader.”-TC
