Dowd: Instead of leaders we get Trump's vicious sewing circle

By Maureen Dowd / The New York Times

So besides making us jittery — and “yippy” — the Trump gang is trying to make us actually sick.

It was another wild, whiplash-y week in Washington.

Amid an economic catastrophe President Trump personally caused, a startling new Times/Siena poll found him underwater, even on immigration, as voters recoiled at the very thing the president loves: his overreaching.
