Our Dishonest President

The LA Times is running a powerful series this week exploring the vices of Trump.  Here is the first post, "Our Dishonest President."  An excerpt:

What is most worrisome about Trump is Trump himself. He is a man so unpredictable, so reckless, so petulant, so full of blind self-regard, so untethered to reality that it is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation. His obsession with his own fame, wealth and success, his determination to vanquish enemies real and imagined, his craving for adulation — these traits were, of course, at the very heart of his scorched-earth outsider campaign; indeed, some of them helped get him elected. But in a real presidency in which he wields unimaginable power, they are nothing short of disastrous.

My deepest concern has not been Trump's policies, like the L. A. Times I'm most worried by his assault upon moral and intellectual virtue.
