Writing a column for The Boston Globe is both a privilege and a pleasure. It’s the realization of a dream that began as a high school and college kid, reading David Broder, William Safire, Mary McGrory, George Will (still!), and the duo of Jack Germond and Jules Witcover. And the Trump administration certainly offers a panoramic tableau for columnizing. One never need ask, hmm, what’s happening this week that might make for an interesting topic?

Chaos is in the American saddle — and yet the past few days offer some hope that the horses of havocs can be kept from a full stampede. On Wednesday and Thursday, the financial markets forced another delay and then a revision in the president’s tariff schemes, even as the Supreme Court took a step to rein in a bit of his budgetary abuse. To be sure, the picture remains grim. No one can predict with any market-assuaging confidence what will happen on the trade-taxing front.

It’s something I never imagined I’d feel, let alone say. But for the first time in my six-plus decades, it’s true. I’m embarrassed to be an American. That’s hit me hard. I’ve traveled a bit over the years, and almost everywhere I’ve gone, people have expressed affection and appreciation for our nation.

The recent dust-up between President Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills has been described as a heated exchange, but it really wasn’t. It was a bullying comment by Trump followed by a laconic, kill-the-contretemps comeback by Mills. It revealed something about both. Trump is a bully — and Mills is neither intimidated nor impressed by browbeaters.

When Mitch McConnell took to the floor of the US Senate last week, on his 83d birthday, to announce that he won’t be running for reelection again, he talked about how unlikely it had once seemed that he would be elected to the Senate, where he would have the same desk that 19th-century statesman Henry Clay once used. That remote wooden link between the two Kentuckians is as close as McConnell will ever come to an association with greatness.

The big Q that Jesse and Laura and Sean are asking today at Fox: How do we avoid mentioning this tonight?
I hadn't heretfore realized that the redo of Ghost Busters as a chick flick was a turning point in history . . . but if a scholar and historian like Jesse Watters says so, it must be true.
Watters: Men discovered America and then we beat the British and wrote the constitution and pioneered throughout the west and won two world wars and we did it with you, we did it together, we were partners.
