Trump’s parade isn’t what he was hoping for. It was a disappointing, sad affair | Moira Donegan

Of all the fights the American president has picked—with courts, universities and law firms—a war with cities, their voters and mayors has the greatest potential for violence https://econ.trib.al/wsc9Z0d
