THE NATIONAL – OPINION: Donald Trump’s first week as president was so chaotic, bizarre and unnerving that it left many Americans, liberal and conservative alike, sincerely terrified that the United States is in the early stages of an unprecedented national nightmare. It is unclear whether the political system can adequately contain or withstand the unfolding assault on elementary and essential American norms and values.
So many of those core mores have been contemptuously flouted by the new president that it’s unclear how, and whether, they can be fully or even partially restored.
It’s unnecessary and impossible to list here the unprecedented, and often breathtaking, breaches of basic American political standards and principles by the Trump administration during its first week.
