Mediaite wrap-up:

The Dispatch, the conservative outlet founded by former Fox News contributors Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, issued a rare editorial rebuking President Donald Trump over his “pursuit of American decline” on Thursday.

Under the headline “Slouching Towards Tyranny: On a dark hour for the American right,” the publication’s editors lamented that the “old rules” of “American global leadership, free markets, limited government, fidelity to the Constitution,” have been set aside in favor of “new and fresh ideas.”

“What are these new and fresh ideas? For some, they are literally monarchism or autocracy. For others, they are mercantilism and a division of the world into ‘spheres of influence,’” they continued. “In short, their foreign policy was ancient when Charlemagne was on the throne, and their economic philosophy was hatched in the 15th century.”
