The New York Times, which last year editorialized against voting for Donald Trump for president because he "has so coarsened our politics" that he would fail as an "example" for "our children," now offers — in a single day — one op-ed describing the president's new communications director as "a Wall Street snake," and another, from the Democratic Party's leader in the U.S. Senate, denouncing "vulture capitalists … egregiously raising the price of lifesaving drugs without justification."
Between the snakes and the vultures, it's almost enough to make a reader yearn for the comparatively tame days of the Obama administration, when people were taken aback by the president's use of the term "fat cat bankers on Wall Street."
