Sohn: Trump’s one step forward for 10 steps back

President Trump did a good thing Tuesday morning.

Actually a very, very good thing – to borrow some Trump-speak.

He spoke out against anti-Semitism and racism about half-way through his tour of the new National Museum of African-American History and Culture.

“Anti-Semitism is horrible, and it’s gonna stop and it has to stop,” Trump told NBC News in an exclusive interview. “I think it’s horrible. Whether it’s anti-Semitism or racism or any – anything you wanna think about having to do with the divide [in the country].”

That was Tuesday, and it brought him a few hours of good will on the news cycle, but we’ll come back for an update in just a few paragraphs.
