It’s a list of ways that Trump has behaved like no other modern president, and it spans his corruption, disrespect for women, violation of the law and disdain for American democracy. I deliberately avoided any traditional matter of policy — even those, such as [climate change](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfazmTP4QLAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMTkvMDkvMjAvb3Bpbmlvbi9hbC1nb3JlLWNsaW1hdGUtY2hhbmdlLmh0bWw_YWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrJm1vZHVsZT1PcGluaW9uJnBndHlwZT1Ib21lcGFnZSZ0ZT0xJm5sPWRhdmlkLWxlb25oYXJkdCZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDE5MDkyMz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjU4MCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3MjU1JnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MlcDbnl0QgoAJJO0iF0TBva2Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), on which I think his approach is downright dangerous. This is instead meant to be a just-the-facts catalog of how Trump has altered the presidency. It’s only 40 sentences, and the sentences are not long. I recognize that I left out several examples — of his corruption or his racism, for example — that furthered a theme already on the list. When you get to the end of the list, I wonder if you’ll have the same reaction that I had after putting it together: It sure seems like it’s time for Congress — both the Democratic leaders in the House and the Republican leaders in the Senate — to use its constitutional power to hold the president accountable for the harm he’s causing the United States.
