It was another disheartening day for molestation apologist Donald Trump, an honorary Alabamian and amateur media critic. T.A. Frank [issued]( a clarion call for political sanity amidst the Roy Moore melodrama. Henry Porter [examined]( Britain’s slow, self-inflicted death by a thousand cuts. Gabriel Sherman [revealed]( why Dina Powell is really leaving the White House. Abigail Tracy [reported]( on the secret fears of the Deep State. William D. Cohan [questioned]( Jamie Dimon’s blind faith in Trump’s donor-fellating tax plan. And Nick Bilton [investigated]( whether said tax plan will usher in financial armageddon. But who wants to talk about yesterday’s news, anyway? Today, we lead with Vanessa Grigoriadis’s powerful interview with one of the 16 women who have accused the president of sexual harassment or assault. Nick Bilton perspicaciously essays on the quiet origin of our culture’s rejection of Trump. And Bess Levin reports what Larry Summers really thinks about Steve Mnuchin. We hope that you’re enjoying what you’re reading. Have a great day!
