If Trump truly understood the content of Lowry's article and still wrote "So True" across his copy, it would indicate a level of self-awareness not so far evident in his words and actions.
The referenced Lowry article does not outright condemn Trump, nor say he's wrong, just that his personality-driven appeal is bad for the party. Lowry says it will be impossible to have Trumpism without Trump, that Gillespie actually tried it in Virginia and it didn't work.
"Fact is, the Trump legislative agenda is entirely conventional (certainly Gillespie has no problem with it) and what sets Trump apart is his populist, guy-on-a-barstool persona and perpetual combativeness."
"This is what his loyalists ultimately want everyone to sign up for, the personality."
"In theory, Trumpism without Trump is the right direction for the GOP. It should learn from his populist, nationalistic appeal while avoiding its (and his) excesses."
"In practice, Trump himself is going to loom all the larger in the party. He’s the main issue in American politics, and he may be the only Republican fit to weather the storm — he has a proven ability to turn out his voters, he doesn’t have to win elections in nonpresidential years and his persona works for him, if not for anyone else."

This is from this afternoon, but it was only last week that I learned that gravity can do this to clouds.
I like to refer to those as gravity waves since that will drive the physicists mad. These are "gravity as the restoration force" waves not the modern physics notion of a ripple in the gravitational field.

Ladies, Remember Men Are Dangerous. Now Share A Bathroom With Them And Don't Carry A Gun.
Speaking of double standards. I guess some sexual harassment accusations merits immediate calls for impeachment while others merit due process.
Nancy Pelosi says John Conyers' actions not that bad since he's historically voted the Democrat line for bills on domestic violence, it was an unknown accuser, and Conyers is an "icon."
So, Pelosi defends Conyers while Trump declines to campaign for Roy Moore. Tell me again who's waging that War on Women, Nancy.

A lot of my favorite ambient music is like this, just a plain-Jane chord change with a few effects and vocal dressings.
It would be better if there were a lot more better music.
