6 days ago | davisenterprise.com | Marion Franck

I am retiring from writing in this space. The decision was not easy or quick because my column has been a big part of my life for nearly 30 years. It’s not my third child exactly — but close. I’ve struggled with it, I’ve loved it, I’ve watched it grow. My column began in 1996 when I was a 49-year-old youngster and the former editor-in-chief of the Davis Enterprise, Debbie Davis, said she was willing to give me a try.

Donald Trump arrogantly presumes he knows more about climate science than climate scientists, more about medicine than medical researchers and more about history than historians. So it comes as no surprise to educated Americans that Donald Trump thinks he understands economics, yet is wholly wrong and ignorant on the subject.

All tail, and no dog.
