Alexandra Petri: Wait, President Trump! Before you unsubscribe!

Aw, I’m bummed you’ve chosen not to re-subscribe to The Washington Post — or, it looks like, The New York Times! And not just for yourself, but for federal agencies, too! Would you mind giving us some feedback? The Post is a paper for and about Washington, with a lot of good content and a very metal slogan, Democracy Dies in Darkness.

Look, I get it, though. It stinks that all the news is bad. It’s like, surely the administration must be doing something right? Just by random chance, an administration could not be getting so many things wrong on so many fronts, to the point that the Wall Street Journal’s editorial defense of its approach to Ukraine policy is that, sure, Donald Trump was trying to do a quid pro quo, but he was too incompetent and therefore does not deserve to face consequences.
