This afternoon, Donald Trump bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom upon several people, including the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. And, in doing so, he couldn’t help but unleash the full Trump just a little bit:
Introducing Maureen Scalia, the late Justice's widow, Trump also recognizes all 9 of their children then adds,
"You were very busy. Wow. Wow. I always knew I liked him."— Jackie Calmes (@jackiekcalmes) November 16, 2018
That may be a first at a Medal of Freedom ceremony.

Perverse undertone, completely wrong place, and yet, almost feels quaint by his standards.
