The editorial board at The Los Angeles Times published a searing column titled “Our Dishonest President” on Sunday, heavily criticizing Donald Trump and his first two months in office.
“It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters,” the column begins. “The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a ‘catastrophe.’”
“Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck. […] In a matter of weeks, President Trump has taken dozens of real-life steps that, if they are not reversed, will rip families apart, foul rivers and pollute the air, intensify the calamitous effects of climate change and profoundly weaken the system of American public education for all.”
