Time to dig this classic out. Sigh.

He is a callous, soulless man.

In the wake of this week’s deadly aircraft collision near Washington, President Trump happily jumped to conclusions and pulled the U.S. apart rather than together, Peter Baker writes. "He has long demonstrated that he is more comfortable as the blamer in chief than consoler in chief."
