Trump the impaler
Paul Waldman
Whenever there's a significant tragedy somewhere in America, like a natural disaster, a major accident, or a terrorist attack, the president will ask himself, "What does the country need to hear right now? Does it need solace, hope, resolve? And what's the best way for me to provide what it needs?"
Or that was what previous presidents would say ... President Trump is not nearly reflective and thoughtful enough to ask himself those kinds of questions. His questions are ... "Can I use this to get people angry and afraid? And can I throw in some xenophobia to punch it up a little?" ...
... our criminal justice system is neither a "joke" nor a "laughingstock" ...
... We've prosecuted hundreds of terrorism cases in American courts, and generally speaking the perpetrators spend the rest of their lives in prison ...
