Anna Moneymaker//Getty ImagesThe ever-essential Margaret Sullivan points us to this remarkably delusional headline in The New York Times. Now, I find all of the president's attempt at charm to be offensive, but I don't think that was the NYT's point anyway. But let us take a look at how the charm offensive was going this weekend.
Our own Logan Airport apparently has been turned into an immigration black site, complete with enhanced interrogation. Dozens of stories have emerged of the human costs on the ongoing DOGE and pony show--graduate schools rescinding acceptances because federal funding for programs has been cut, Social Security recipients being denied benefits because somebody, somewhere declared them dead, pediatric brain cancer patients are being abandoned mid-treatment, court orders are now being routinely ignored to the point where tinpot Central American presidents are mocking them. The president is now threatening to ignore the lawful pardons granted by former president Biden, basing this latest power grab on a theory even more laughable than the one he used to justify his reverse human trafficking to El Salvador. Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Army scrubs its website records of black and Hispanic and other minority military members, including the 442nd Infantry, the famous Nisei unit in World War II that was recruited from Japanese Americans out of the detention camps where they were being held. He's demanding that Columbia University knuckle under even more than it already has, and has said quite plainly that Columbia is merely the lab rat for a genuine assault on the country's colleges and universities. Bomb-sniffing dogs are being denied decent nutrition.
Charming, wot?
