Well, this should be interesting:

JUST IN: Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski charged in alleged battery of Breitbart reporter. — ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) March 29, 2016

I have to admit that Lewandowski’s actions hardly seem to rise to the level of criminal battery, but what do I know? In any case, this should be another fine opportunity for Donald Trump to start whining about how the whole world is against him.

Of course, a routine apology would have ended this tiff before it ever started. But that’s a lesson that Trump and his team will never accept.
