Is there nothing so louche that Trump supporters won’t indulge in it? According to the Washington Post, apparently not. So low have we been brought, the Post suggests, that in Donald Trump’s capital there is a fad for that odious cinnamon-flavored sugar gargle that masquerades as whiskey, “Fireball.”

The article took up most of the front page of the paper’s Style section plus a jump to the inside pages. It started with a big picture of a bottle of Fireball and a display headline: “Is This the Spirit of Trumpism? Fireball whiskey’s sales rise in D.C.; theories abound.”
