Issues Multiple Corrections For ... Falsely Claiming 900,000 U.S. Children Have Been Hospitalized For COVID-19 During Pandemic\">article discusses<\/a> a column by socialite Sally Quinn in the New York Times, where she expresses her anxieties about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/backlash-against-disney-grows-after-liberal-actor-in-show-with-gina-carano-made-similar-posts-still-has-job\/\" title=\"Backlash Against Disney Grows After Liberal Actor In Show With Gina Carano Made Similar Posts, Still Has Job\">current political climate<\/a> under Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency. Quinn describes Washington, D.C., as a city &#8220;in crisis,&#8221; feeling emotionally and psychologically affected by trump&#8217;s return to power. She conveys a sense of pervasive fear and insecurity among the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/weak-government-complicit-media-silicon-valley-are-torching-america\/\" title=\"Weak Government, Complicit Media, Silicon Valley Are Torching America\">political elite<\/a>, asserting that &#8220;nobody feels safe&#8221; in the city. The author of the article, Eddie Scarry, critiques Quinn&#8217;s perspective, suggesting that her feelings are more reflective of her discontent as a member of the Democratic elite rather than a universal sentiment among all D.C. residents. He argues that many people in the city do not share her sense of alarm and that her view stems from a loss of influence within the current governmental system, which contributes to her feelings of discomfort and frustration. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >article ultimately suggests<\/a> that Quinn\u2019s perspective is limited to a select group and does not represent the broader experiance in Washington.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PibtFobauxQ\" target=\"_blank\">Life Stories \/ YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/05\/09\/socialite-sally-quinn-in-fear-of-trump-needs-a-welfare-check\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Socialite%20Sally%20Quinn,%20In%20%E2%80%98Fear%E2%80%99%20Of%20Trump,%20Needs%20A%20Welfare%20Check&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/05\/09\/socialite-sally-quinn-in-fear-of-trump-needs-a-welfare-check\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Socialite%20Sally%20Quinn,%20In%20%E2%80%98Fear%E2%80%99%20Of%20Trump,%20Needs%20A%20Welfare%20Check&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/05\/09\/socialite-sally-quinn-in-fear-of-trump-needs-a-welfare-check\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/05\/09\/socialite-sally-quinn-in-fear-of-trump-needs-a-welfare-check\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Socialite%20Sally%20Quinn,%20In%20%E2%80%98Fear%E2%80%99%20Of%20Trump,%20Needs%20A%20Welfare%20Check&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/05\/09\/socialite-sally-quinn-in-fear-of-trump-needs-a-welfare-check\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>Of Trump presidency 2.0, my favorite sub-genre by far is the neurotic Democrat who publicly exhibits her severe depression, which is very obviously rooted in her deep-seated control issues.<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, ancient Washington, D.C., socialite Sally Quinn&rsquo;s latest column in the New York Times is a wildly fun read. Quinn, who previously proclaimed her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/magazine\/2021\/05\/17\/end-of-washington-elite-social-scene\/?itid=ap_sallyquinn_5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">satisfaction<\/a> with the demise of Washington&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/alert-pete-buttigiegs-new-electric-suv-was-made-in-mexico\/\" title=\"ALERT: Pete Buttigieg\u2019s New Electric SUV Was Made in Mexico\">social scene<\/a>, said that Donald Trump&rsquo;s return to the White House has infected the oxygen she breathes to survive. &ldquo;This spring Washington is a city in crisis,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/09\/opinion\/washington-toxic-trump-watergate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">she wrote<\/a>. &ldquo;Physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. It&rsquo;s as if the fragrant air were permeated with an invisible poison, as if we were silently choking on carbon monoxide. The emotion all around &mdash; palpable in the streets, the shops, the restaurants, in business offices, at dinner tables &mdash; is fear.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1595008276\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Quinn said that in D.C., &ldquo;Nobody feels safe,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Nobody feels protected,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Nobody knows &hellip; [w]hat might happen to each of us.&rdquo; In a particularly concerning portion of the column, she quoted crazed left-wing goblin Leon Wieseltier ominously telling her, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s time for people to ask: What am I willing to die for?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The whole piece should earn Quinn a formal wellness check from law enforcement and a 24-hour commitment to the psych ward for Wieseltier.<\/p>\n<p>I no longer live in Washington (Thank God), but I still know plenty of people there, and none of them are in a &ldquo;crisis&rdquo; or living in &ldquo;fear.&rdquo; (Though, admittedly, I don&rsquo;t know anyone who works for Jasmine Crockett.)<\/p>\n<p>What Quinn means is that Democrats have minimal influence in the federal government right now, and she is personally in <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/04\/11\/democrats-are-anxious-and-uncomfortable-now-they-know-how-it-feels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a foul mood about it<\/a>, and so are all her vile D.C. dwelling friends. So, as narcissists tend to do, she presumes everyone else must be feeling the same way. This is how Democrats have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liberal-Misery-Hateful-Everything-Everyone\/dp\/1637584350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">behaved for all time<\/a>, but it&rsquo;s especially true in the Trump era. They declare an entire city in &ldquo;crisis&rdquo; and gripped by &ldquo;fear,&rdquo; as if they personally know each individual of the more than half-million residents. And of course Quinn doesn&rsquo;t, that&rsquo;s the whole point of being an elite socialite &mdash;&nbsp;exclusion of the vast majority and association with only the rich and influential.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Among once powerful lawyers, journalists, politicians, academics and lobbyists who have made up official Washington for the past few decades,&rdquo; Quinn wrote, &ldquo;the feeling is one of impotence, fear and frustration.&rdquo; I&rsquo;m sure that Washington crowd is feeling more anxious than usual these days. Their ability to force people on what to do and how to think &mdash; things they love above all else &mdash; has been greatly weakened. <\/p>\n<p>They&rsquo;re uncomfortable right now, and it&rsquo;s a fact that makes me very, very happy.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and
