TRUMP SAYS THE OVAL OFFICE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH 'DECORUM, RESPECT, AND DIGNITY, NOT DEFILED BY THIRD RATE CLOWNS', ARGUING THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY STORY ABOUT HIM IS 'NEGATIVE, WRONG AND, IN MANY CASES, DANGEROUS', AND CITING HIS 2024 ELECTION WINS TO ASK 'WITH SUCH A CROOKED AND CORRUPT PRESS, HOW DID I WIN IN SUCH A LANDSLIDE?' - TRUTH SOCIAL

I seldom weigh in so hard on the discourse du jour, but it feels like the first time we’re addressing how badly the social contract has broken down. The minimum reasonable expectation of decorum, kindness, and interacting courteously with those around you used to be ubiquitous

I'm openly no admirer of the Royal Family, yet the death of Princess Diana remains one of those rare moments etched into everyone's memory. Everyone remembers exactly where they were when the news broke. I was a child on holiday in Greece and the entire hotel seemed to just stop; guests went to the foyer to watch the TV and stood in stunned silence. People then began to weep and were holding one another for comfort. I remember it clearly. Even those who were not British felt the weight of it, as that was the measure of her reach and I feel something essential has been missing from the public square ever since. That Harry and his odious wife continue, to this day, to trade upon the memory of her death reveals everything you need to know about their character. Those who would anoint Meghan Markle as Diana 2.0 are mistaken. She possesses neither the grace, the decorum, nor the honesty that Diana had in the tip of one fingernail. True, Diana was elevated to near sainthood after her death, though she was never an angel. Still, the manner of her dying remains heartbreaking. R.I.P.
