If Trump’s approach to self-soothing involves lying about crowd sizes, so be it. But when he declares publicly that journalists “should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country,” I find it tough to shrug and look away. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump says some journalists ‘should be arrested,’ escalating attack on free press
If the president wants to lie about crowd sizes, that’s pitiful. But when he talks about arresting reporters without cause, don’t look away.

good review and also, there is still something to be written about Sarah Palin as a key figure in creating the political space that trump seized just a few years later.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

Trump: "I know more about inflation, I know more about everything than anybody in this room, anybody, anywhere in the world. Well, there's a woman sitting right over there. She's a housewife. But she's very good…She perhaps knows more than I do, but I actually don't think so."

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
