Politics:
The Dumbest Moments of the Trump Presidency
When the story of this era is told many years from now, students and history enthusiasts will learn about Trump’s lies, corruption, self-enrichment, and abuse. What they may not grasp—and what even now is hard to comprehend—is just how stupid it was to live through.
Remember that stupid thing Donald Trump did? Hard as it is to pick, here are the top 10
Trump was terrible in so many ways that it's hard to catalog them all: His sociopathic lack of regard for others. His towering narcissism. His utter ease with lying. His cruelty and sadism. The glee he took in cheating and stomping on anything good and decent. His misogyny and racism. His love of encouraging violence, only equaled by his personal cowardice.
It is critical to distinguish between two types of corrupt pardons. There are those that are merely contemptible for their intrinsic immorality...
There are others that pose structural dangers by placing the president and his circle above the law and thwarting investigations into wrongdoing.
