“‘Strange,’ ‘sad,’ ‘wrong'” Those might look like a greatest of hits list of Trump’s Twitter exclamations, but they’re actually the reactions of historians to John Kelly’s take on Robert E Lee, and the claim that the Civil War happened because of “the lack of an ability to compromise.” (What happened? Did the administration run out of things to mislead people about in the present?)

+ “People out here asking me for ‘hope.’ Meanwhile, the adult in the room thinks the Easter Bunny caused the Civil War…” Ladies and Gentlemen, Ta-Nehisi Coates.
