Trump Is Melting Down, Again

Eugene Robinson: “The astonishing thing is that the president of the United States is, let’s face it, raving like a lunatic — and everyone just shrugs.”

“The nation is still reeling from two mass shootings. The financial markets are yo-yoing by hundreds of points. A bomb in Afghanistan, where we’re still at war, killed 63 revelers at a wedding. Tension between the United States and Iran continues to mount. North Korea keeps testing new missiles. India is playing with fire in Kashmir. Hong Kong has been convulsed for months by massive protests seeking to guarantee basic freedoms.”

“And Trump obsesses about buying Greenland.”

“The truth is that we don’t have an actual presidency right now. We have a tiresome reality show whose ratings have begun to slide — and whose fading star sees cancellation on the way.”
