Some
of the best commentary about President Trump, today, comes from
conservatives who oppose him. The excellent piece, below, is by Peter
Wehner, a Contributing Opinion Writer at the New York Times.
He writes, in the essay: "...in their ferocious defense of the president, Trump supporters are signaling that decency is a form of weakness, that cruelty is a welcome and highly effective political weapon and that the low road is the preferred road. At one point, Republicans were willing to tolerate Mr. Trump’s brutish tactics and reprehensible character as the price of party loyalty; today many of them seem to relish it. They see the dehumanization of others as a form of entertainment."
