Day 1,937: cavalier, candidacy

He is cavalier about institutions, including the Federal Reserve and the rule of law.

Nobody knows if Mr Trump means what he says, but the chance that he does hangs heavily over his candidacy, like Mr Musk’s rocket over the launch pad.

America’s economy is bigger and better than ever

Quote of the day
“There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind...”

― Ben Hecht
