    Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

    RPDS—reflecting pool derangement syndrome—Trump just wants it repaired, clean and beautiful—I really don’t see the problem with that even if it takes a do-over—why don’t you want it that way too?—the endless tantrum over everything he does is really tedious
