- Trump has called for an inquiry into the matter. Classic deflection, trying to steer news and resources away from the growing Russia scandal. For an irreverent overview of what the hell this is all about, I recommend Jezebel's coverage.
- Trump's aids don't know how to defend the statement, and so have either stopped discussing it, or have simply decided not to.
- The NY Times has an excellent piece looking at the "deregulation nation" that Trump is creating. In the past 6 weeks, over 90 pieces of regulation have been repealed. Most of them are environmental, consumer and worker protections. Furthermore, most of them are at the behest of corporate lobbyists and trade association executives. Drain the swamp indeed.

Hi Jolyon, I've reached my limit of free articles from the NY Times. I refuse to subscribe to a newspaper, so I guess I can't follow any more NY Times links till the start of next month.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that! Here's a trick to skirt around the article-limit on most news sites: Open a "private browsing" window (available in Chrome and Firefox, likely others), and view the webpages in there.
