“He has put federal employees embracing diversity programs that he disagrees with on leave.” @NYTimes portrays this as part of “Trump’s Crackdown on Dissent.” Another description would be “Having an Election.” https://t.co/dBgBbuG2Wm

Strong statement of social equality! Recognition of identity and economic differences while putting them in perspective–eg subsidiary to unity and also to individualism (“You can’t figure out the bag I’m in.”). Plus people will dance.

Is it possible that it only seems like a “whiplash Presidency” if your business model is to overreact to every bump in the road? If you imagine, hypothetically, that Trump’s trying to get a deal on Ukraine, it seems less whiplashy. He turns the screws on A, then turns the screws… https://t.co/ACJ329JCvd
