Trump Gon’ Make Us Lose Our Minds
Maybe The Root is insane. Maybe all the newspapers, cable news shows and pundits that evenhandedly cover Donald Trump, constantly offering him the benefit of the doubt, are doing it right and we are doing it wrong. Perhaps we are the crazy ones for calling out the salmon-colored, sandpaper-faced president every time he sends a…

Trump Totally Disrespected Angela Merkel. WTF?

During his presidential campaign, Vladimir TrumPutin made a habit of talking recklessly about German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
