Reflections on Charles’s State Visit.

It’s tough to reach an agreement with a President whose word is not his bond.

Reflections on a week in which Donald Trump decided to feud with the Pope while comparing himself to the Saviour.

If this is “total and complete victory,” imagine what failure looks like.

The President poses an existential question: Can everything be going according to the plan with Iran if there is no plan?

And the war in Iran is helping him do it.

“We won,” the President who’s treating the conflict with Iran like a video game says, but “we’re not finished yet.”

So far, explanations are few and the goals—from regime change to ending a nuclear program the President already claimed to have “obliterated”—are many.

But at least the President thinks everything is going great.
