New York Times (October 27)
“Because of soaring deforestation rates under President Jair Bolsonaro, the Amazon ecosystem is on the brink of catastrophe.” For Brazilians, “this will be a painful election between two deeply flawed candidates. But for the future of human life on this planet, there is only one right choice.” Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva “promises to stop the destruction.”

“The president’s timetable” of having enough vaccine for every American by the end of May “provides a bright light at the end of a long, dark tunnel, although he acknowledged that the nation remains in a tenuous situation” as experts “fear a fourth surge of the pandemic, fueled by worrisome new variants, as states like Texas and Mississippi rush to fully reopen.”

“Our president does have trouble hanging onto cash, whether it’s his or ours.” Donald Trump “vowed to eliminate the national debt if elected,” but he “is leaving office in a fiscal year that recorded the biggest one-year debt figure ever, $3.1 trillion. And during the entire glorious four years, the national red ink went from $14.4 trillion to $21.1 trillion.”
New York Times (November 16)
“Donald Trump lost the election. He knows it. But he won’t admit it.” The outgoing president is “the Absolute Worst Loser. He has spent his life gaming the system, so it’s no surprise that he can’t accept defeat.”
The Week (October 29)
“The president has precious little time to turn around the fortunes of his re-election campaign,” but he instead seems “bent on alienating as many voters as possible in the campaign’s closing days by flouting public health guidelines, babbling convoluted innuendo about Hunter Biden, and ignoring the increasingly desperate plight of Americans teetering on the edge of disaster.”

LA Times (January 23)
“Republicans have been trying to impeach this president since before he was sworn into office. And now, at last, they could make good on the fantasy…. But the dynamism the party once showed, when it dared to condemn Trump in 2016, is gone.”
New York Times (October 6)
“There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents a president from being impeached more than once.” While proceeding with a narrow impeachment case, the House should not “close the impeachment inquiry. Keep it open and ready to draw up more articles as new corruption is uncovered. Impeach Trump repeatedly if necessary.”

Washington Post (June 24)
“When we look back on June 2019, we’ll say that this was the time when a credible allegation of rape was made against the president of the United States, and he had already shown himself to be such a loathsome character that it was treated as a third-tier story, not worthy of much more than a passing mention here and there in the news.”

New York Times (April 23)
“We can wait to reject this appalling worst-president-ever in the next election. Impeachment would drive the whole country even further apart. The Republicans in the Senate would never go for it anyway. And by the time we staggered to the inevitable stalemate, it’d be well into 2020. Let’s just vote the sucker out.”

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is trying to create a “New Turkey,” but this is leaving “millions unmoored” as the “massive shift away from agrarian lifestyles” destabilizes “the country’s food supply and cost many their livelihoods.”
