From a New York Times column by Gail Collins headlined “Trump’s Love-Hate Relationship With the World Is Mostly Hate”:

Sometimes I miss the good old days when Donald Trump could be shocking.

It’s really hard to imagine something he could say now that would throw us for a loop. You probably heard that on Veterans Day he celebrated the men and women who’ve fought for American democracy by promising to “root out” his liberal opponents. Otherwise known as “the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.”
