As Herr Donald tries to take over our democracy,
a Pulitzer Prize winner is sounding the alarm.
Pulitzer Winner Eviscerates Trump: ‘Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?’
“Maybe you didn’t notice, but this is the United States of America.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Leonard Pitts Jr. excoriated President Donald Trump in a scathing editorial published Tuesday,
The columnist started his piece by referring to Trump as “Mr. So-Called President,” a reference to Trump’s smearing of a federal judge who temporarily blocked his executive order on travel and immigration.
Pitts, speaking of senior policy adviser Stephen Miller’s disastrous appearances on Sunday news shows on which he said Trump’s authority “will not be questioned,” responded:
What you do ‘will not be questioned?’ Lord, have mercy. That’s the kind of statement that, in another time and place, would have been greeted with an out-thrust palm and a hearty “Sieg heil!” Here in this time and place, however, it demands a different response:Just who the hell do you think you are?Meaning you and all the other trolls you have brought clambering up from under their bridges. Maybe you didn’t notice, but this is the United States of America. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? Nation of laws, not of individuals? First Amendment? Freedom of the press? Any of that ringing a bell?
