Great article.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few but what I’d really like to talk about is my disastrous predecessor and some pathetic city mayors,” is what Winston Churchill didn’t say during Britain’s war against Adolf Hitler.

Bit British, but I’ll take it.

The president continues to settle scores. While praising the current military leadership involved in the Venezuela raid, he complained about generals he worked with previously. He said: “I worked with some I didn’t like. I worked with some I didn’t respect.”

Yep. He has hated on the military and certain generals even before Trump1.0.

Later, he was asked about his pardoning of Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras, who had been convicted of drug trafficking. How could he square this with the purported crackdown on narco-terrorist Maduro?

When in doubt, blame former president Joe Biden. Trump asserted that Hernández “was treated like the Biden administration treated a man named Trump”, using the third person as a rhetorical flourish: “That didn’t work out too well for them. This was a man who was persecuted very unfairly.”

Indeed, Trump mentioned his predecessor half a dozen times.

This is how one should write about Trump, always. No sanewashing.

The fat, orange, felon, rapist, pedophile is just showing that he doesn’t care one wit about breaking laws or what anyone else thinks. He figures that he is in control of the world now - it seems he is right, at this point.
