Karen Tumulty opens her piece on the reaction of Donald "Rump" Trump to the deaths of two migrant children on the southern border with this observation:
With President Trump, there is no bottom. Every time you think you have seen it, he manages to sink even lower.
Leonard Pitts, Jr., on what, owing to Trump, we now stand for as a people:
“This isn’t us.” That’s what people keep saying. But it is. That’s the entire point. The abiding anger, the situational morality, the disregard for fact, the cruelty, the political gangsterism, these things are what America, writ large, now stands for.
It will get worse in 2019 as Rump and his family face multiple legal challenges and policy and investigatory challenges from the Democratic House. It will only get better if the "us" that's the majority in this country continue to resist until this ugly chapter in our history is ended.
