Trump Writes an Insane Letter

Anne Applebaum: “Remember the time, during the election campaign, when Donald Trump got bored of his rally, turned on his playlist and started dancing? Or when, more recently, he got up in the middle of a meeting with oil executives, looked out the window and started talking about the White House ballroom?”

“Nobody around him wants to stop him. They are too craven, or too cowardly, or too greedy. Only Congress can call a halt to this charade. But in order for that to happen, a handful of Republicans have to find the guts to say that 2+2 = 4. Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him. Now is the time.”
