Even without his reckless promise to buy off every American adult with $5,000, he was on track to break his first-term record for adding to the unsustainable U.S. debt.

Like President George W. Bush did, President Trump wages war ahead of midterm elections and makes false claims of success to win voters. The trouble is, Trump does so against Americans’ memories of Bush’s record.

Just one thing is certain: chaos on some level. That’s Trump’s trademark and yet another reason voters increasingly dislike him.

We say “there will never be another Dolly Parton” with regret. To say the same about Trump is, for many Americans, a relief.

The president is campaigning against Republicans by enriching himself while in office.

Suddenly we have a new measure of how much women and minorities (and immigrants) contribute to protecting America: the casualty toll in Trump’s war against Iran.

The U.S. is losing millions of essential workers as President Trump enacts his campaign's stupidest ideas.

Rarely has the president's recasting of reality to fit his chosen narrative been so evident on varied fronts — and so grotesque — as in recent days.

The president’s dud of a prime-time speech, during which he baselessly called U.S. elections “catastrophically short” of being safe, only confirmed many people's fears.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) could block confirmation of the president's personal lawyer to be the next attorney general.
