Yesterday, I saw a woman trip on the pavement. She immediately turned to her husband and started to complain.

Dear Doctors: I read your column about dry mouth. One of the recommendations was to use gum or candy that has been sweetened with xylitol.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been married to my husband for just over a year now, and I have been starting to get annoyed with how nice he is. Yes, I know that sounds crazy, but it’s getting to a point where I am finally starting to see just how much he lets his family, friends and even strangers walk all over him. For example, his sister constantly asks him for favors like rides to the airport at 4 a.m., help moving apartments and last-minute babysitting, and he always says yes, even when we already have plans. He’ll apologize to me for canceling, but he never tells her no. At first, I thought this was just him being kind, and I admired that, but now I’m starting to feel like he is unable to set boundaries.

Donald Trump has waged war on the news media his entire career, frequently deriding journalists as “enemies of the people” and “real scum.” In his second term, he has gone far beyond name-calling, suing the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, exerting regulatory pressure on the parent companies of CBS and ABC, defunding NPR and PBS and arresting journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort.
