To the editor:

Confession: Every weeknight we watch some minutes of “Hannity” to learn what is current in that Fox-Trump universe.  If you are similarly masochistic, you know that Sean Hannity never mentions the current president of the United States of America without using an insulting nickname and appending further insult, such as “I doubt he knows what day it is.”  On Dec. 15 he was proclaiming the president’s supposed cognitive decline and brought in a favorite, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, for supportive commentary. Gingrich soon turned to the perils of having such an impaired leader in a world of Vladimir Putin and “uh, uh, the dictator in China and, and, uh, the head of North Korea, and the ayatollah in Iran.” Mercifully, Hannity did not ask him what day it was.
