This week, we saw the sad images of an immigrant child in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials crying by a car in Minnesota. Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) immediately and wrongly claimed that he was detained after returning home from school. Online, friends of mine were posting images […]
President Donald Trump and his most ardent supporters think that his negotiating style is pure genius. But their assessment is puerile.
