Maria Bartiroma, James Freeman: Win or lose, America’s 45th president deserves credit for a more competitive economy, a nation at peace and a secure rule of law. Donald Trump doesn’t trample Americans’ rights. He doesn’t start wars; he ends them.

Outside Walter Reed, a Misinformation Epidemic
Gerald Baker: It’s easy to be cynical about this latest outbreak of media hysteria and bile. It would almost be comforting to think that it’s all their fault. But the White House itself carries much of the blame for this rancid atmosphere of mistrust and misdirection.
The Stakes in the Presidential Election Are Your Life Savings

Does Biden Really Want to Be President?
Gerald Baker: He’d be a hostage who issues reassuring bromides from a cell in the White House family quarters.
Trump Stokes the Transition Panic
The notion that Mr. Trump could stop a peaceful transition of power is preposterous. On Jan. 20 his term legally ends. If Congress hasn’t certified an Electoral College winner on that date—or settled a tie— Nancy Pelosi will be President if she is still House Speaker. GOP House and Senate leaders have already repudiated Mr. Trump’s remarks.
Bill Barr’s Prosecutorial Warning
The left distorts his important speech on political accountability.

The Supreme Court could use judges that can withstand political pressure.
Woodward’s Non-Revelation
Mr. Trump now says he was trying to keep people from panicking. And given his preoccupation with marketing, we believe him.
To Combat Covid, Don’t Turn the Clock Back

The White House Prepared for a Pandemic
On March 30, less than three weeks after WHO declared a pandemic, the federal government began investing with private vaccine developers.

We’ll Protect America’s Suburbs
Donald Trump and Ben Carson: We reversed an Obama-Biden regulation that would have empowered the Department of Housing and Urban Development to abolish single-family zoning, compel the construction of high-density “stack and pack” apartment buildings in residential neighborhoods, and forcibly transform neighborhoods across America so they look and feel the way far-left ideologues and technocratic bureaucrats think they should.
Echoes of 1984 in Biden’s VP Choice

Trump Wins in Portland
With his interventions the president is telling city residents that there’s nothing inevitable about the rising shootings and mayhem that plague their communities. They are the result of the choice made by too many public officials to wink at chaos.
