Institutional Investor (April 29)

2021/ 05/ 01 by jd in Global News

“One hundred days into Joe Biden’s presidency, his administration’s executive orders and agency actions have reinstated and advanced an environment that empowers sustainable investing…. All of this sets our children and grandchildren and wildlife up for a more secure future — but threats to sustainable investing remain.”

 

Chicago Tribune (January 20)

In January 2020, “the U.S. recorded its first confirmed case of COVID-19.” President Trump “insisted, his administration had the virus ‘totally under control.’” Instead, “after a year of presidential denials of reality and responsibility, the pandemic’s U.S. death toll has eclipsed 400,000. And the loss of lives is accelerating.”

“Joe Biden takes climate change seriously. His administration’s staffing shows how seriously the incoming president takes this issue.”

“One pretty good forecasting rule for the coronavirus era has been to take whatever Trump administration officials are saying and assume that the opposite will happen. When President Trump declared in February that the number of cases would soon go close to zero, you knew that a huge pandemic was coming.”

“The Trump administration is hiding something…. The problem, of course, is that we may not know what the Trump administration is covering up until it is too late—until this administration is long gone, or until it is too late to fix the damage.”

 

LA Times (July 3)

2019/ 07/ 05 by jd in Global News

“The Trump administration is absolutely bonkers—which comes as a surprise to no one at this point, but it’s remarkable how many different ways it manifests itself.” His administration is one growing knot of contradictions. “Time and truth are fluid when you’re the mayor of ‘crazy town.’” The only thing we know is that “nothing the president says can be believed, and no threatened or promised action can be trusted until, in fact, it has happened.”

 

NBC News (December 11)

“First, President Donald Trump failed in his pledge to ‘hire the best people’ in the White House; now, he’s having trouble hiring any people. These phenomena are not unrelated.” Trump’s first pick for Chief of Staff turned him down. This should be no surprise as it’s an unenviable job: “Trump has the impulse control of a hungry, intoxicated bear and bridles at attempts to keep him disciplined or to bring order to his administration.”

 

Chicago Tribune (November 8)

“If Trump or his administration move to impede or end Mueller’s work, the president will do so at his own peril. Many in the country—us included—would see that as an attack on the rule of law and a blatant effort to subvert justice.”

 

CBS News (September 7)

“The Trump administration’s trade battles with China, Canada, Mexico and other countries around the world can feel like a bewildering descent into the obscure. But you don’t have to be an expert to grasp that, in the era of globalization, a trade war upends the way countries have operated for decades.”

 

Washington Post (May 22)

2018/ 05/ 24 by jd in Global News

“The Trump administration is supposed to be negotiating with China. But right now it more often seems to be negotiating with itself. China knows what it wants out of these bilateral negotiations; the White House plainly does not…. In short: Over here on Team USA, it’s been amateur hour.”
