Roosevelt -- looked on and did nothing!... (more)

Headline could have read instead: 'I'll do whatever they [Mitch and Lindsey] want to do, it doesn't matter,' as Trump made clear to the media
RENEWAMERICA STAFF — In an obvious distortion of the truth in an attempt to embarrass President Donald Trump, Yahoo ran an article Friday with the headline: "Trump: 'I'll do whatever I want' during Senate impeachment trial."

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — Donald Trump certainly is mercurial at times. He can be uncouth. But then again, no president in modern memory has been on the receiving end of such overwhelmingly negative media coverage and a three-year effort to abort his presidency, beginning the day after his election.
