Today's Impeach-O-Meter: Now Trump's Even Losing at Twitter to Obama. (Slate)

Well, that was quite something. Donald Trump has held many unhinged press conferences during his run to the White House, and many more during his stay there, but, on Tuesday, a 21st-century president of the United States stood in the lobby of a New York City high rise and tut-tutted reporters and the general eyesight-having pubic over what is, and what is not, a white supremacist. “Not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me,” Trump said of the neo-Nazis marching with torches in Charlottesville over the weekend. “Not all of those people were white supremacists, by any stretch.”

Two days ago, Donald Trump didn’t say enough (or much of anything); now he’s a technical expert in distinguishing between white hate groups. Finding a happy, well-adjusted medium has never been his strong suit. Trump then moved on to explain that some people who were totally not white supremacists were there just marching to protect a statue or two.

… But many of the people were there to protest the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. This week it's Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. Is it George Washington next week, and Jefferson the week after?
And Trump the week after that? Donald Trump is clearly—and quite astutely—worried about his own potential statues’ longevity. He’s just getting a head start on solidifying his legacy—as the best presidential tweeter that’s ever lived.

But wait.
