"If any one day could define the hazy transition from slow to rapid decay — 24 hours that truly defined the decline of the American empire from its pedestal as a global superpower — it would have to be March 23."

Seriously, another thing that has to stop right now is "Oooh, this is looking bad for Trump!" headlines.
Literally everything we know about him looks bad for even the idea of him in any kind of trusted position & this was true long before he ever ran for office.
You might notice that he's president just the same.
Yes, some of it grates on his fragile ego but again, how has that helped anything improve in any way so far?
Just stop.
