«So when Trump paused at "loyal"—when he interjected, "we could use some more loyalty"—I was stunned. This is the president who told James Comey, "I expect loyalty." Over the weekend, he'd inveighed against Republicans who "do very little to protect their President." And there he was, looking out at a sea of Scouts, telling them that "Boy Scout values are American values," apparently unaware that his own definition of loyalty—something that he himself is owed—is precisely the opposite of the definition those Scouts are taught to embrace—something that we owe to others.»
