It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

It’s worth thinking deeper about the way Trumpists tried to claim that the #NoKings rallies should be seen as a “Hate America” rallies. Because, of course, America was founded on determination to have no kings. They’re the ones who misunderstand the meaning of patriotism and truly loving America.
