re: NYT: Trump was graceless and disturbingly ahistorical

As if grace is even close to the most important quality in a president...

"Winning" is all that matters. Whether it be trade deals, bringing back jobs, or being fiscally responsible in covering Americans health care that can't cover themselves.

Ask the patriots if they want grace or Belichik

The MSM has some people convinced being eloquent and political correct in describing shortcomings is better for them than a man somewhat arrogant in his success. Because there isn't a clearly defined win/loss column annually like in sports people think liking their leader on a personal level is all that matters.

If not saying "mean things" or being overly PC was all that mattered Les have would run a more succesful program than Saban. Give me a man that gets the job done, the rest is just lagniappe

Chuckie Schumer was much better with his speech at the inauguration that did not mention Trump once.

No his message was much more subliminal using terms like LGBTQRSWYAZ rights to set him up. I think that's what pissed Trump up and he tore up his written speech and went full tilt into Washington establishment.

I had meetings all afternoon so I can't comment on his "grace," which is a weird concept in this circumstances.

And while I'm not interested in inaugurations, isn't the inauguration itself historical, given its infrequency and what it entails, especially when it's not a reelection?

Besides, since we can't accurately determine what some random inauguration was like for most of our history, how can we ceremony it's any more or less historical than those?

I often defend the NYT, but this is just unnecessary and plain stupid.

They are not wrong.
