Get your local Trump fix here: Harvard’s vast real estate holdings at risk … The Enemies List. … ‘Trump fatigue’ … ‘Worse than thought’ etc.

Suffering from TDS? Need a fix? You’ve come to the right place. Here’s all things Trump in one handy-dandy post. … The Globe’s Catherine Carlock asks a good question about the president going after Harvard’s tax-exempt status: What does it mean for Harvard’s massive real estate holdings? It means some pretty hefty local property tax bills if Harvard doesn’t prevail. … Speaking of Harvard, from WBUR: “Abrupt visa terminations leave Mass. international students with uncertain future in the U.S.” … The NYT’s Tom Friedman is afraid, very afraid, and he’s right to be so in terms of America losing its political and economic standing in the world. … Karl Rove at the WSJ: “America Gets Trump Fatigue.’ (Yes, that Karl Rove.) … The Globe’s Larry Edelman warns local businesses that they may yet end up on the Trump administration’s enemies list. Think: fed contracts. … U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren sounds shellshocked by the White House’s 24/7 assault on the senses. (“This is so bad, so much worse than we thought.”) …  

… And last but not least: I stumbled upon The Economist’s somewhat new (I assume) ‘Trump Tracker.’ The president’s poll numbers aren’t shifting as much as thought or hoped. Note to Dems: the Trump Tracker’s top five issues of concern for Americans are inflation, jobs/economy, health care, immigration, and taxes and government spending – and NOT identity-politics issues.
