The “Everything Terrible Trump Has Done So Far” Omnibus (Week 125)

As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week.

____________________________________________________________________________

This week the Trump administration sunk to deeper levels of self parody, which would be funny if it wasn’t so disturbing. Most notably, he came out and point blank admitted he’d collude with foreign governments against his political opponents if given the chance. Then he decided to use a WWII internment camp to house detained migrants, completely missing the symbolic implications. And at a time when a miniseries on Chernobyl achieves critical acclaim Trump decided now would be a good time to mine for Uranium near the Grand Canyon and play fast and loose with nuclear waste.

As always, I don’t expect to catch everything, so let me know if there’s anything you think I’ve missed. The full omnibus is being maintained here (a spreadsheet version can be found here). For an overall summary, click here.
