Driven Nuts by Trump

A reader has taken to screaming at her TV and throwing things at her newspaper.

"A.L.: Well, that was SNORT reading. Reasonable Chatting Trump is crazy about the environment. He’s even worried about climate change. Just ask him, before he forgets. And Donald the Unscripted thinks environmentalism is an evil plot by the same people who bussed millions of unregistered noncitizens to the polls to dilute his election triumph.
Take your pick. They’ll all be around for the next four years."

How Low Can the ‘Presidential’ Bar Go?

A look at Oval Office-worthy behavior, then and now.

With slightly more than half the congress to spot him the president can grovel on his belly and lift the bar with his butt.

Leashes Come Off Wall Street, Gun Sellers, Polluters and More

In a flurry of deregulation, the Trump administration has already suspended or reversed more than 90 rules. And industry is clamoring for more.

Democrats Bet G.O.P. Will Come to Regret Opposing Scrutiny of Trump

Congressional Democrats have been offering up long-shot measures related to the president’s taxes and his Russia ties, hoping that voters will punish Republicans later.

Trump’s Military Ambition: Raw Power as a Means and an End

The president seems fixated on preparing the armed forces for a potential conflict with great powers like China and Russia.

It is a failure of imagination.
Nuclear war is not a good idea.

‘Really Sick and Really Scared’ Voters Temper Action on Health Law

Many Republicans, especially in the Senate, increasingly see a need to tread carefully, or even alter course, on the push to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Trump is determined to reduce the population and bankrupt the insurance companies.
Dergulation will make everyone sick and everyone will be covered by insurance.

Top Trump Advisers Are Split on Paris Agreement on Climate Change

Stephen K. Bannon is pushing for the United States to exit the 2015 deal, but Rex Tillerson and Ivanka Trump see a grave downside in pulling the rug out from under allies.

We may see five feet in five years.

Morning Agenda: Snap I.P.O., Stock Market High, Bridgewater Shake-Up, Yahoo

Will Snapchat’s parent dash to glory, like Alibaba, when the investment world gets the chance to buy up shares? Or will it stumble out of the gate, like Facebook?

Snap does not make money.
Nothing but hope supports the prices paid.
A P.E. of twenty has been ordinary.

Yahoo has become a virus.
