I have never worked for the Washington Post, but I have competed with it for more than 40 years. Its stellar international reporting is part of the heart and soul of a great newspaper. And its international reporting not only makes Post readers smarter, it makes its competitors better — and thus American journalism better. I hope these rumors are not true. At this moment in particular, the country needs as many strong, experienced news outlets, with reach around the world, as we can get.

I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.
