This is one of those titles that really needs an [opinion piece] label in the title. Saw this was from the NYT and knew that even they wouldn’t report this as “news” but rather it must be an opinion essay.
Other readers, especially from outside of the US, might not realize the distinction and think, “Wow, the NYT is a big national newspaper, this is important news!”. No, this just an opinion/advocacy piece from a left-leaning newspaper, and as such has few if any expectations of objectivity, completeness or accuracy, although there may be a point or two that’s worth taking away.
It’s also probably worthy of flagging as at the outer edge of HN relevance, although issues of actual governance, especially when someone is “moving fast and breaking things” like Trump, are always of general interest.
