Or state sadism, whatever you want to call it, but I said months ago that it would be a guiding principle of this administration. I haven’t see any reason to feel contradicted.

Since there is a fair chance I won’t be around to say, “I told you so” when the time comes, I’ll toss out this not-very-bold prediction now: nearing the end of the administration of the next Democratic president, Republicans will mount a huge campaign reminding their supporters how badly that Democratic administration did, and what “good old days” we had under T.47. And you know what? They will fall for it, hook, line and sinker.
