February 1, 2017: Black History Month starts with a mighty bang when Trump summons up the name of a key leader in the fight for equality. “Frederick Douglass is an example of someone who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I noticed,” says the president.
Apparently,
he hasn’t noticed. Douglass died in 1895.

2/2/17: The First Lady decides to delay her move to the White House until summer.
That way, the First Family’s youngest, 10-year-old Barron Trump, can finish the
school year in New York. The cost for extra security is estimated to be $300,000 daily. GOP fiscal hawks don’t mind, nor does Mr.
Trump, even though they used to blast Barack Obama for the costs of all his golfing
and his vacationing.

2/3/17: Trump rises early and buckles down to
work. At 6:24 am he tweets about low ratings for a TV show near and dear to his
heart: “Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of
California and even worse on the Apprentice...but at least he tried
hard!”
A federal judge blocks the first travel ban.

2/4/17: The president angrily tweets: “The opinion of this so-called judge (see: 2/3/17), which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our
country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”
Clearly, Mr. Trump fails to understand that all
federal judges are actual judges.
As the days
pass it will dawn on most Americans: Trump has never read the U.S.
Constitution.
Chief Justice John Marshall helped establish the importance of the courts.
