Trump’s Gift to the Democrats

[Homepage]( [Trump’s Gift to the Democrats] Good morning! It’s been a rollicking week in the Hive newsroom, dear reader, as our crack team of reporters indefatigably endeavors to gather the latest news on the roiling dystopian hellscape perpetrated by one Donald J. Trump, an amateur Soviet intelligence officer and novice Arabian sword-dancer. Paul Elie cogently analyzed whether the Pope [could save Trump’s soul](. Emily Jane Fox reported how Jared Kushner and Chris Christie [may have become the new Cellino & Barnes](. And Nick Bilton [got the inside scoop]( about Bob Iger’s putative consideration of higher office.
