I’m usually writing the day’s edition at this time of the day, but I couldn’t help sharing this footage from last night in Portland. The president appears to believe images like these make him look good to a slice of America desirous of a king-president. The backlash is already mounting, it’s already fierce and it will not stop until footage like this never happens again. I don’t think Donald Trump or his confederates get it.
More later today. —John Stoehr
Would someone please explain to me who besides the president has the power and/or authority to put a stop to this?
Every single office seeker, irrespective the level of government, must address this in their campaigning. I will be asking every single one... and draw out a public record. This CANNOT stand and we still remain the country I thought I belonged to.
