Barnicle: The ‘Myth’ of the Presidency Is ‘Slowly Being Chewed Away’ by Trump

EXCERPT:

BARNICLE: “All of us at the age of 6 or 7 that go to school, you would have an expectation when history is being taught, American history, in schools, and we no longer teach American history as well as we ought to, but the combination of myth and memory surrounding the office of the presidency that would be taught to children, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, that is slowly being chewed away by the language employed by this particular president and the way he uses that language.”
