WASHINGTON - With two weeks left before the close of voting, President Donald Trump flew to the far northwest corner of Pennsylvania for a large rally where he aired grievances against the news media, complained that the pandemic had damaged his campaign and portrayed Democrats as purveyors of drugs and crime - all as a sea of loyal supporters in red MAGA hats cheered him on.

I sometimes wonder where JC Wilcox is coming from with his hagiographical apologies for President Trump. Perhaps I’ve glimpsed another alternative universe, where all the known rules of physics are given up to total entropy, and things are not as we in the real world understand them.
