“Trump is now basically running our country the way he ran his companies — as a one-man show free to make make terrible deals. That management style led to six bankruptcy filings by his companies,” our columnist Thomas Friedman writes.
Opinion | Trump’s Politics Are Not America First. They’re Me First.
Donald Trump is the most un-American president in our history. And in his second term, there is no one to constrain his un-American impulses.
