Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these:
1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps.
2. We decide who enemies are.
3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?
Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.
So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
