2/🧵When Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, gave a status report on his agency’s work in mid-October in the Oval Office, he effused: “These are the best numbers for fighting crime in U.S. history.” He used “historic” less than a minute later, and another “historic” less than a minute after that. As Shakespeare might have written, methinks he doth “historic” too much.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, giving a status report of his own at a cabinet meeting two weeks ago, pronounced: “It has been a historic year at the Department of War.” He added that “the spirit in our ranks” was “unprecedented” and that recruitment and retention were “at the most historic levels our country has ever seen.” Not just historic — most historic. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Trump #TrumpRegime #Republicans #bragging #boasting #character #USPol
