(Pete Marovich | The New York Times) On the final morning of his presidency, Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump board Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, on their way to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, Fla., Jan. 20, 2021. “To be sure, Trump has done real and lasting damage to this country,” writes New York Times columnist Charles Blow. “He has tested the rules we thought might constrain a president and found them wanting. He has shown the next presidential hopeful with authoritarian tendencies that authoritarianism can gain a foothold here.”
