So, first of all, of course it was Trump.
But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

In 1953, Jorge Bolet played in Tampa, Florida. Also in the concert was Sinfonia Piccola (1935) by Heikki Suolahti, a 17 year old Finnish boy who died at 18. The score was given to conductor Thor Johnson by no less a figure than Sibelius, in Finland in 1950.

Jorge Bolet and Riccardo Chailly in the late 1980s. A splendid photo (Wilhelm Fröling). I only hope the conductor managed to get into his white tie before the 7:30pm start. He's cutting it a bit fine...
