        "We have broken the seal; the genie is out of the bottle," The WITCH is out of the bottle!! Nice piece, and unfortunately ... your observations seem spot-on. How low we have sunk and @POTUS keeps going LOWER (with GOP assistance too).

        You’re (unfortunately) spot on, Matt. I expect every POTUS to undergo learning curves but whose decisions are informed by ethical standards, intellectual curiosity & unselfish devotion to public service. Bar is certainly at rock bottom. So are many of us. Sad.

        Virtually everything said in this column is applicable to the better part of the past 25 years, the (lowest of low) bar having been set by Bill Clinton. DT’s presidency is the product of and reaction to a quarter century of incompetence, narcissism, and malfeasance at the helm.

        Meanwhile, in reality = lowered taxes, appointed Judges who respect the Constitution, cut regulations... You need to pay more attention.

        I think many underestimate the percentage of Trump supporters who agree that Trump's presidency, while effective so far from the viewpoint of agenda, has deeply disappointed from the viewpoint of character. I don't see the damage as long lasting.

        If the Trump presidency diminishes the power of the liberal media by removing the cudgel of holding conservatives to higher moral standards than they do liberals, then this will be one of the most successful conservative presidencies of all time.
