I was quite taken with this, from the January 7 NYTimes:

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr.
Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. *He’s not hurting the
people he needs to be hurting*.”


And I'm hoping to see W. L. Stone's "New York will be a tarnation fine
city, if they ever get it finished."
