Sometimes you just have to ask, “Is there any possible way it can get any worse?”
Yes! And welcome to the 39th week of the presidency of Donald J. Trump.
The J stands for “Just Say Anything,” truth be dammed. Honesty, integrity and accountability are so just yesterday. As in, Jan. 19, 2017 and earlier.
As the president rates a “10” to the federal response to disaster-stricken Puerto Rico, denies comments made to the widow of a dead soldier that many have deemed insensitive, pretends to be best buds with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a Rose Garden presser, and continues to claim Russian meddling with the 2016 Election was a hoax, Fake News! — we just have to say, it was another busy week for newspaper cartoonists across the country, believe me.
