New York Times (September 10)
“The queen’s death last week, at 96, is a genuinely traumatic event, leaving many in this stoic country anxious and unmoored. As they come to terms with the loss of a figure who embodied Britain, they are unsure of their nation’s identity, its economic and social well-being, or even its role in the world.”

“The stoic determination and decency of the British people and their leaders was on full display in the hours after the latest horrific terrorist rampage.” In contrast, President Trump “acted like a clod, a heartless and dull-witted thug in sending out a series of tweets” on the London attacks. “One is prompted to ask if he is off his rocker. But this is vintage Trump — impulsive and cruel, without an ounce of class or human decency.” With his tweets, Trump has embarrassed “himself—and America—once again.”
