Imagine a newspaper editorial board calling a president "unfit to clean toilets" and then a few months later inviting that same president to write a guest column about the economy on that same editorial page. Say what?
And if you find that disconcerting so did Jake Novak, a CNBC senior columnist until March, who took USA Today to task for that on Tuesday. Novak reminded USA Today that he criticized them for going way over the line back in December right after their unhinged attack upon Trump. Then he wondered how that same editorial board could have Trump write a guest column this week sans an apology.
To get an idea how extreme USA Today acted in their editorial, let us take a look at their December 12, 2017 editorial, Will Trump's lows ever hit rock bottom? with its highly inflammatory subtitle, A president who'd all but call a senator a whore is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine George W. Bush's shoes: Our view.

Is cleaning toilets honorable work? That’s something USA Today would know zip about.
wait he is unfit, and yet black unemployment at record levels low. Unemployment down. Welfare down. GDP first time over 3% for the first time in over 8 years. Hell the list is endless and these idiots say he is unfit!!!
I think you could go on and on like that too.
Tax cuts, exploding economy...
Man it must hurt to be a Lefty...
USA Today? Lost track of its existence.
the left are hurting so much right now , because things are going so great.
I wish the president wold have an hour news conference on national TV citing all this, and then stating how the media will not tell the public this info.
The McPaper has been downgraded to McWipe.
I think you’re right, with a tweak.
I’d like to see others heralding what Trump has done.
It’s so bush-league that he’d have to remind folks of it, rather than others praise him for it, as they should.
Yes in that day and time He did things no other President had done or did after him considering who he had for a VP, Trump is fighting way different circumstances then Regan did.
I agree.
I do think Reagan had to make concessions regarding spending, but it was impressive what he was able to get done.
As you say, Trump faces a very strange set of circumstances, what with his own party thinking they have around 250 presidents on Capital Hill.
And then there’s the other Legislative branch, formerly known as the SCOTUS, and even the criminal justice system nationwide.
Truly. My son works for a custodial company. He does have to clean toilets sometimes. You know what? Those jobs will not be outsourced and are more difficult for AI. Doubt a “news”paper can say the same. Hard work should not be looked down upon. It should be applauded.
I wouldn’t want him cleaning mine. No way.
I agree. Thanks easternsky.
What's more, cleaning toilets is a useful job.

Actually, USA may be on its way to bankruptcy. It used to be an interesting paper to read but it has gone so far to the Left that Tass/Izvestia/Pravda/RT TV would be jealous of it.
Also, I’m actually surprised to find out that the editorial board of USA know what a toilet it.
Maybe it’s because they are full of crap. Otherwise, it would be the Outhouse or Bushes (who they never liked either).
>> Hard work should not be looked down upon.
Agreed. But the condescending Left doesn’t care.
USA.Today is unfit to line a birdcage!
