ColumnistOn Jan. 20, 2017, President Trump delivered a bleak inauguration address that warned of “American carnage.” He has spent the past two years turning those words into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Every week, the Trump administration produces more news than previous administrations did in an entire year. He pilloried African American National Football League players who kneeled to protest police brutality during the national anthem. His administration leaked so badly that one anonymous official boasted in a New York Times op-ed of obstructing Trump’s agenda. Megalomania: If measured by conventional metrics, the first two years of the Trump presidency have been a dismal failure.
