In the long-awaited sequel to "Groundhog Day," Bill Murray will wake up to see video clips of Democratic presidential candidates deluding themselves over and over again.

For the first time in the Trump era, a plurality of registered voters (37 percent) believe the economy is getting worse, not better (31 percent).

During hurricanes, the President needs to calm public fears, pledge federal aid where it's needed, and let meteorological experts do their jobs. Seriously, how hard is that?

The dictionary defines ingratitude as "a lack of a proper appreciation or thanks for a kind or helpful act." What better way to describe Trump's fulminations about Fox News?
