The Trump ‘Gotcha’ Indictment

We have minimum low regard for Donald Trump, and not merely because he is a bombastic lout and world historic megalomaniac.

His policies were terrible, too. The Federal budget and debt exploded on his watch; the Fed printed money recklessly even as he demanded more; and the free market was kicked hard in the pants by his immigration and trade policies, the unforgivable Covid Lockdowns and the Trump-inspired mass vaccination campaign for an untested gene therapy that he rushed to market via what history will characterize as the cruelly named Operation Warp Speed.

Moreover, we hope against the odds that somehow the Donald will stumble fatally during the course of the GOP primary season, thereby paving the way for at least a half-assed Republican like Ron DeSantis to become the nominee.
