"Modify with any four letters you wish"

Недавно я писал о статье Брета Стивенса.

Сегодня Джон Маккейн рекомендует новую статью этого автора. "Must-read", говорит.

Must-read @nytimes column by @BretStephensNYT today https://t.co/9eXPq9pNWi

Статья заканчивается так:

Donald Trump has not, to say the least, risen from a hole. But he is sinking into one. It may be that it won’t damage him politically — Republican Party leaders, increasingly unshameable, will mumble mild disapproval until the news cycle turns — but it does damage the country. We have a president even more ignorant of America than he is of the rest of the world.

Maybe there really is something wrong with the president’s head. Modify with any four letters you wish.

Республиканский сенатор рекомендует эту статью. Впрочем, как мы знаем, это не значит ровным счетом ничего.

А статья в этот раз, действительно, хорошая, прочитайте. Я вот этот абзац только еще приведу:

I mention Moldova because it’s where my paternal grandfather was born in 1901. An anti-Semitic rampage in his hometown, Kishinev, soon forced his family to leave for New York, where my great-grandfather labored as a carpenter in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for eight dollars a week. Low skills, low wages, minimal English, lots of children and probably not the best hygiene — that’s half of my pedigree. The other half consisted of refugees.
