To wallow in a sewer is to smell like one. To consort with noxious racists has the same effect.
No excuse remains for anyone to pretend that Donald Trump isn’t an antisemite after he welcomed two of the worst of them to Mar-a-Lago last week, the entertainer Kanye West, now known as Ye, and the white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
It’s no surprise, of course, to learn in what gutter Trump’s sympathies lie. That was clear enough in 2017 after the neo-Nazi riot in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he said there were “very fine people on both sides” among those who protested in favor of the Confederacy.
